Now select the transformation and edit it for setting sort properties. Select the column names on which we are gone sort the data.

Step 9:

Now drag and drop OLE DB Destination and give the output of Sort transformation and as input to the OLE DB destinations, then EDIT the destination transformation to set the connection properties.
