I would like to order by mytree.trans_ID, but I get an error:
Msg 1033, Level 15, State 1, Line 17
The ORDER BY clause is invalid in views, inline functions, derived tables, subqueries, and common table expressions, unless TOP, OFFSET or FOR XML is also specified.
How to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Another possibility is to remove the outer query when querying the CTE - it doesn't seem to serve any purpose.
;with myTree as (
select y.User_id,y.user_usercode,y.user_username,y.user_uplineID,trans_WinLose, y.User_ID as sourceID, trans_id,trans_Rolling,y.User_Level,lvl1.User_Level as Level_lvl1,lvl2.User_Level as Level_lvl2,y.User_GivenPT,lvl1.User_GivenPT as GivenPT_lvl1 ,lvl2.User_GivenPT as GivenPT_lvl2,y.User_GivenComm,lvl1.User_GivenComm as downline_Comm from tbl_user y
Inner join tbl_trans x on x.trans_Robot_ID = y.User_RobotID
Inner join tbl_user lvl1 on y.user_uplineID = lvl1.User_ID
Inner join tbl_user lvl2 on lvl1.user_uplineID = lvl2.User_ID
union all
select u.User_ID,u.user_usercode,u.user_username,u.user_uplineID,t.trans_WinLose, t.sourceID as sourceID, t.trans_Id,t.trans_Rolling,u.User_Level,t.User_Level,t.Level_lvl1,u.User_GivenPT,t.User_GivenPT,t.GivenPT_lvl1,u.User_GivenComm,t.User_GivenComm
from myTree t
inner join tbl_user u on t.user_uplineID = u.User_ID
)
SELECT mytree.*,
(SELECT CASE
WHEN Level_lvl1=7 THEN GivenPT_lvl1
WHEN level_lvl2=7 THEN User_GivenPT-GivenPT_Lvl2
ELSE (CASE WHEN (User_GivenPT-GivenPT_lvl1) > 0 THEN User_GivenPT-GivenPT_lvl1 else 0 END)
END) as Net_PT
From Mytree order by mytree.trans_ID

SQL behaves with data in Mathematics Sets manner. In Sets the order of data and elements are meaningless. So when you are dealing with CTE, sub-queries, views, inline table value functions etc, that are used to return a set of data, you are not allowed to order and sort them.
You need to sort data when you need to show them in output or you are using TOP or OFFSET-Fetch or etc commands, where the Order By helps these commands to work as they should be.
You should rewrite your query as:
;with myTree as (
select y.User_id,y.user_usercode,y.user_username,y.user_uplineID,trans_WinLose, y.User_ID as sourceID, trans_id,trans_Rolling,y.User_Level,lvl1.User_Level as Level_lvl1,lvl2.User_Level as Level_lvl2,y.User_GivenPT,lvl1.User_GivenPT as GivenPT_lvl1 ,lvl2.User_GivenPT as GivenPT_lvl2,y.User_GivenComm,lvl1.User_GivenComm as downline_Comm from tbl_user y
Inner join tbl_trans x on x.trans_Robot_ID = y.User_RobotID
Inner join tbl_user lvl1 on y.user_uplineID = lvl1.User_ID
Inner join tbl_user lvl2 on lvl1.user_uplineID = lvl2.User_ID
union all
select u.User_ID,u.user_usercode,u.user_username,u.user_uplineID,t.trans_WinLose, t.sourceID as sourceID, t.trans_Id,t.trans_Rolling,u.User_Level,t.User_Level,t.Level_lvl1,u.User_GivenPT,t.User_GivenPT,t.GivenPT_lvl1,u.User_GivenComm,t.User_GivenComm
from myTree t
inner join tbl_user u on t.user_uplineID = u.User_ID
)select * from (SELECT mytree.*,
(SELECT CASE
WHEN Level_lvl1=7 THEN GivenPT_lvl1
WHEN level_lvl2=7 THEN User_GivenPT-GivenPT_Lvl2
ELSE (CASE WHEN (User_GivenPT-GivenPT_lvl1) > 0 THEN User_GivenPT-GivenPT_lvl1 else 0 END)
END) as Net_PT
From Mytree) as c
order by c.trans_ID

Answer 3

From Mytree order by mytree.trans_ID OFFSET 0 ROWS
change it to this, solved
