Solution for SQL2005

SQL

;WITH cte AS
    (
    SELECT  [dbo].[CaseAssignments].[Rank1],
            [NEW_RANK] = (ROW_NUMBER() OVER( ORDER BY [dbo].[LawFirms].[FirmName], [dbo].[CaseAssignments].[Rank] )) - 1
    FROM    [dbo].[CaseAssignments]
    JOIN    [dbo].[LawFirms]
            ON [dbo].[CaseAssignments].[FirmID] = [dbo].[LawFirms].[FirmID]
    JOIN    [dbo].[v_Lawyers]
            ON  [dbo].[CaseAssignments].[LawyerID]  = [dbo].[v_Lawyers].[LawyerID]
                AND
                [dbo].[LawFirms].[FirmID]           = [dbo].[v_Lawyers].[FirmID]
    JOIN    [dbo].[Cases]
            ON [dbo].[CaseAssignments].[CaseID] = [dbo].[Cases].[CaseID]
    WHERE   [dbo].[CaseAssignments].[CaseID]        = 144
            AND
            [dbo].[CaseAssignments].[FormFilterPDC] = 1
    )
UPDATE  cte
    SET [Rank1] = [NEW_RANK]

You don't use "order by" in insert or update statements. It doesn't matter how the data goes into the table.
