Very vague question!
The asker did not give an explanation of the desired sorting rule. Without that the closest answer is to sort based on Order by groupname, name
Of course specifying the query's output through CASE..WHEN.. is the "smartest" idea. If you give me this answer at the job interview, I positively won't hire you. As it was mentioned in answer #4, what if the table has 1000 rows? And in a week - 5000? How you gonna manage your query?
Good luck.
