Hi All,
I am using oracle database 11g.
My use case is I do have a table with following values
Table name -test
product id     productsortdescription
H58098        ACETAMIDOHYDROXYPHENYLTHIAZOLE
043994         Alloy .MM.INTHICK
My query is
select * from test order by productsortdescription;
this query gives result as is like
product id     productsortdescription
H58098        ACETA
product id     productsortdescription
H58098        ACETAMIDOHYDROXYPHENYLTHIAZOLE
043994         Alloy .MM.INTHICK
MIDOHYDROXYPHENYLTHIAZOLE
043994         Alloy .MM.INTHICK
but Expected output/result should be like below:
product id     productsortdescription
043994    
Alloy .MM.INTHICK
H58098      ACETAMIDOHYDROXYPHENYLTHIAZOLE
as All and ACE in productsortdescription
l is in small case than C.

Are you looking for something like
with
names as
(select 'Etbin' n from dual union all
select 'etbin' from dual union all
select 'ETBIN' from dual union all
select 'ACETAMIDOHYDROXYPHENYLTHIAZOLE' from dual union all
select 'Alloy .MM.INTHICK ' from dual union all
select 'another name' from dual union all
select 'Aalto; Hugo Alvar Henrik' from dual union all
select 'astrerisk' from dual union all
select 'Ezekiel' from dual union all
select 'zylog' from dual
expansion as
(select n,listagg(duo) within group (order by l) ord
   from (select n,level l,
                case when ascii(substr(n,level,1)) between 97 and 122
                     then '0'
                     when ascii(substr(n,level,1)) between 65 and 90
                     then '1'
                     else '2'
                end || substr(n,level,1) duo
           from names
         connect by prior n = n
                and prior dbms_random.random is not null
                and level <= length(n)
  group by n
select n
  from expansion
order by ord
N
another name
astrerisk
etbin
zylog
Aalto; Hugo Alvar Henrik
Alloy .MM.INTHICK
ACETAMIDOHYDROXYPHENYLTHIAZOLE
Etbin
Ezekiel
ETBIN
