I have a table that consists of emails. As you know email consists of prefix@domain.extension. I wonder if it is possible to construct and sql thats sorts on the domain name and forward? For example:

xerxes@domainA.com
alpha@domainB.com

thanks!

Something like below should do the trick. Couple of notes: This assumes only ONE at-symbol (@), and This assumes you only want to sort based on the domain name as a whole.

CODE

DECLARE @Addresses AS TABLE ( EmailAddress VARCHAR(100) ) INSERT INTO @Addresses (EmailAddress) VALUES ('rjohnson-remove@ultimatemedical.edu') INSERT INTO @Addresses (EmailAddress) VALUES ('rjohnson2-remove@ultimatemedical.edu') INSERT INTO @Addresses (EmailAddress) VALUES ('rjohnson-remove@somewhere.com') INSERT INTO @Addresses (EmailAddress) VALUES ('lhurgoyf-remove@tampabay.rr.com') INSERT INTO @Addresses (EmailAddress) VALUES ('wildmage-remove@tampabay.rr.com') INSERT INTO @Addresses (EmailAddress) VALUES ('robert.johnson-remove@tampabay.rr.com') SELECT EmailAddress , SUBSTRING(EmailAddress, CHARINDEX('@', EmailAddress) + 1, 1000) 'DomainName' FROM @Addresses ORDER BY SUBSTRING(EmailAddress, CHARINDEX('@', EmailAddress) + 1, 1000) , EmailAddress
