Thanks Andrew, I've updated the example code to include the second order by.

I found this to be the best examples so far. However, when i put this in place i realized i was missing records when using the ORDER BY if not the default primary key. I found that in order to not exclude records that the ORDER BY needs to ALSO be on the last line as well.

example:

SELECT TOP 5 * FROM
    (
    SELECT  ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Product_Name) AS RowNumber, *, TotalRows=Count(*) OVER()
    FROM tbl_products
    ) _tmpInlineView
WHERE RowNumber >= 5 ORDER BY Product_Name
