[dba-SQLServer] Views don't sort

One of the things I am trying to do is use SQL Server to speed up my applications.  The theory is 
that I can hand off the heavy lifting to SQL Server and just get back result sets.  Of course this 
works in terms of joins and filters in a view, but even though I specify a sort in a view, when the 
result set hits the other end (Access in my case) it is unsorted.

Views have the ability to do sorts, so why is the data returned by a view into a third party app, or 
even into another view in SQL Server unsorted?  Is there a way to tell sql server to return sorted data?
