The session collation is set to ASCII. Assuming that job_rept contains alphanumeric data, a SELECT that requests a sorted return, as follows.

     SELECT emp_no, jobid 
     FROM job_rept 
     ORDER BY job_id;

This request produces the following report, sorting job_id in ascending order.

     EmpNo       JobId
     ------    --------
     10201      1001-AP2
     10201      1032-AR3
     10201      1031-AR2
     10004      ENG-0002
     10016      ENG-0002
