Order By in a View

Hi everyone,
I'm relatively new to MSSQL.
I was trying to import a view from MS Access to MSSQL that has an order by statement.

And everytime I tried it gave me the following error:
"The ORDER BY clause is invalid in views, inline functions, derived tables, and subqueries, unless TOP is also specified."

ِAnyone can help?

option 1. place the ORDER BY on the code where you call the view

option 2. include a top 100% on your view. or use a ridiculous large number that will ensure return of all rows|||Excellent, the select top 100 percent ...
worked like magic for me:)

Thanks:)
