Hi All

I know this question has been asked [earlier](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/why-i-am-getting-this-error-when-using-jdbc-input-plugin-of-logstash/237988) as well, but this issue is still there.  
But there was no clear statement on the [solution](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/why-i-am-getting-this-error-when-using-jdbc-input-plugin-of-logstash/237988/8), so i am asking again.  
**input** : jdbc-input-plugin  
**jdbc driver** : MSSQL  
Underneath jdbc input plugin uses this format/template

```auto
SELECT count(*) AS count FROM 
(
select .......
...........
) 
AS t1 LIMIT 1

```

When i use Order by query, it just utilizes the above template

```auto
SELECT count(*) AS count FROM 
(
select .......
...........
order by a.id asc
) 
AS t1 LIMIT 1

```

with this i get this error

> 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.

Now i cannot go and change the jdbc-input plugin template and get rid of that count. The count is also important because, i need to enable pagination

I do not need solution without pagination because i have millions on record, so pagination is necessary and to do that i need to do order by ascending.

Is there any other way to do ascending order?

But the above order by query works in other Databases, only MSSQL server is a problem

Thanks
