SQL ORDER BY

You can sort the selected results using ORDER BY command, for instance :

Code:

SELECT * FROM 'Department' ORDER BY name

The results in the previous query will be in a ascending order (from A to Z), you can reverse the order direction by adding desc to the query.

Code:

SELECT * FROM 'Department' ORDER BY name desc

You can use it for numeric values :

Code:

SELECT * FROM 'Department' ORDER BY DepId desc

You can sort records with more than one column to handle the case with records have similar values in one column:

Code:

SELECT * FROM 'Department' ORDER BY name,DepId desc
