    Add an INDEX column before you pivot, then remove it again:

    Re: Unwanted ordering Columns

    Hi AliGW,

    almost perfect ! What i miss sometimes per 1 ID there are 2-3 value for 1 property like : Propert car contain 2 fields : colour and engine,
    then my pivot output 2-3 rows per ID instead of 1.

    ID Property Field Value
    1 car colour X
    1 car engine X


    and i want :

    ID Property colour engine version
    1 car X X

    instead of :

    ID Property colour engine version
    1 car X
    1 car X


    It is possible?
