i have table as follows

INTCATEGORYID   NAME       PARENTID
1               ASD           1
2               EFD           1  
5               FGH           1 
6               JKL           2  
8               VBN           2 
9               FG            3
0               VB            3

I want to have result like follow

INTCATEGORYID   NAME       PARENTID
5               FGH           1 
2               EFD           1  
1               ASD           1
6               JKL           2  
8               VBN           2 
9               FG            3
0               VB            3

means i want to short the subset of whole record set in descending order
like rows which having parentID =1 has to be short in descending order only rest should be in ascending order

SQL

create table sort_test

 name varchar(10),
 parentid int)

 insert into sort_test values (1,'ASD',1)
  insert into sort_test values (2,'EFD',1)
 insert into sort_test values (5,'FGH',1)
 insert into sort_test values (6,'JKL',2)
 insert into sort_test values (8,'VBN',3)
 insert into sort_test values (9,'FG',3)
 insert into sort_test values (0,'VB',3)

SQL

Select INTCATEGORYID ,NAME ,PARENTID
from sort_test
order by 
  parentid,
 case when parentid = 1
   then INTCATEGORYID * -1
 else 
   INTCATEGORYID
   end

FROM 
    MY_TABLE
ORDER BY
    PARENTID ASC, INTCATEGORYID DESC
