ORDER BY with a Specific value first

Question

I am creating an Employee Contact page in ASP that populates a table with a SQL query (command).  I want to sort the employees by last name (which is obviously an easy SORT BY property), but I need to show the Managers first.  How can I display
employees that have 'Managers' in their 'Job Title' first, then the rest of the employees by last name.

Answer 1

create table #t (id int, title char(1))
insert into #t values (4,'A')
insert into #t values (2,'M')
insert into #t values (3,'D')
insert into #t values (1,'M')
insert into #t values (5,'M')
insert into #t values (6,'e')
insert into #t values (7,'X')
select * from #t order by
case when title ='m' then 1 end desc, title
