Subject: Query Question


I'm doing a query like:

select Title from inv where Title LIKE '%TOMMY%' OR Content LIKE
'%TOMMY%' OR  Notes LIKE '%TOMMY%'  order by Title

What I need is to have the results that match Title LIKE '%TOMMY%' to
appear first and then the rest. I have been doing 2 separate queries and

filtering the first results from the second in a script. I would like to

do this with a single query. Can that be done?
