How to create index for date range query?

How to optimize SQL Server ORDER BY clause?
If you have something other than equijoins in your query, or the ranged predicates (like <, > or BETWEEN, or GROUP BY clause), then the index used for ORDER BY may prevent the other indexes from being used. If you post the query, I’ll probably be able to tell you how to optimize it. SELECT * FROM View_Product_Joined j LEFT JOIN [dbo].
Why does my SQL query take so long?

If you have something other than equijoins in your query, or the ranged predicates (like <, > or BETWEEN, or GROUP BY clause), then the index used for ORDER BY may prevent the other indexes from being used.
