When loading data from a QVD file into a Qlik Sense application, if you need to sort the data by a specific field (in this case, the Country field), the Order By clause can be used. However, the Order By clause cannot be directly applied during the initial load from the QVD. Instead, the data should first be loaded into a temporary table and then sorted in a subsequent resident load.
Initial Load from QVD:The data is first loaded into a temporary table (CustTemp) without any sorting.
Resident Load with Order By:After the initial load, you perform a Resident Load from the CustTemp table and apply the Order By clause to sort the data by the Country field in ascending order.

City,
CompanyName,

This method ensures that the data is sorted correctly without violating Qlik Sense's loading rules.
