Re: Ordering the columns in a pivot table

SELECT PE.TestID,
       MIN(CASE PU.PresentOrder WHEN 1 THEN PE.TextValue END) AS Param1,
       MIN(CASE PU.PresentOrder WHEN 2 THEN PE.TextValue END) AS Param2,
       MIN(CASE PU.PresentOrder WHEN 3 THEN PE.TextValue END) AS Param3,
       MIN(CASE PU.PresentOrder WHEN 4 THEN PE.TextValue END) AS Param4,
       MIN(CASE PU.PresentOrder WHEN 5 THEN PE.TextValue END) AS Param5
FROM   ParametersEntries PE
JOIN   ParametersUser PU ON PE.TestID = PU.TestID
GROUP  BY PE.TestID

You may note that I don't use the PIVOT keyward. The above method with CASE 
is a lot more flexible and easier to understand.
