If ranks are unique.
We can use these solutions.
--Using subqueryselect SortKey,anyColumns
from YourTable a
where (select count(b.SortKey)+1 from YourTable b
        where b.SortKey > a.SortKey
          and RowNum <= EndRank) between StartRank and EndRank
  and RowNum <= (EndRank-StartRank)+1
order by SortKey desc;
--Sort in InlineView
select SortKey,anyColumns from(
    select SortKey,anyColumns,RowNum as Rank from(
        select SortKey,anyColumns from YourTable order by SortKey desc))
where Rank between StartRank and EndRank
  and RowNum <= (EndRank-StartRank)+1
order by SortKey desc;
--Using OLAP
select SortKey,anyColumns from(
    select SortKey,anyColumns,Row_Number() over(order by SortKey desc) as Rank
      from YourTable)
where Rank between StartRank and EndRank
  and RowNum <= (EndRank-StartRank)+1
order by SortKey desc;
