Is there a way to get some selected data first & rest data in ascending order through SQL Query.

C#

Suppose I have country data in unmannered way (not in sequence) in table tbl. Now I want to show Country  'United States','Canada' & 'India' first & rest of the country shown in ascending order.

C#

Country

India
China
Brazil
Azerbaijan
Bahamas
United State
Denmark
Canada

Now I want this data as :

C#

Country

United State        // US,Canada,India should be First 3.
Canada
India
Azerbaijan         // After rest country comes in ascending Order.
Bahamas
Brazil
China
Denmark

Any suggestion really appreciate.
