                    1looks like `sql-server`. Please remove unwanted tags. And be clear on what you are trying to do – Ullas Sep 20 '17 at 12:04

                    You should read about joins and use them instead of subqueries in your columns. Then use some aliases so you know which table each column came from. – Sean Lange Sep 20 '17 at 13:15

        You need to add order by at the end of SQL statement.
Try:
SELECT Distinct ', '+ 
(
  select text from dbo.codelists 
  WHERE id = LoadReferenceTypeId
)
, ': ' +  ReferenceValue 
FROM dbo.LoadReferences 
WHERE LoadId = 89 and EndDate IS NULL
ORDER BY column_name DESC;
