The SQL ORDER BY


The ORDER BY keyword is used to sort the result-set in ascending or
descending order.

Try it Yourself »

Syntax
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
ORDER BY column1, column2, ... ASC|DESC;

Demo Database
Below is a selection from the Products table used in the examples:

ProductID ProductName SupplierID CategoryID Unit

1 Chais 1 1 10 boxes x 2

2 Chang 1 1 24 - 12 oz b

3 Aniseed Syrup 1 2 12 - 550 ml

4 Chef Anton's Cajun Seasoning 2 2 48 - 6 oz jar

5 Chef Anton's Gumbo Mix 2 2 36 boxes


DESC
The ORDER BY keyword sorts the records in ascending order by default. To sort
the records in descending order, use the DESC keyword.

Example
Sort the products from highest to lowest price:

SELECT * FROM Products


ORDER BY Price DESC;

Try it Yourself »

Order Alphabetically
For string values the ORDER BY keyword will order alphabetically:

Example
Sort the products alphabetically by ProductName:

SELECT * FROM Products


ORDER BY ProductName;

Try it Yourself »

Alphabetically DESC
To sort the table reverse alphabetically, use the DESC keyword:

Example
Sort the products by ProductName in reverse order:
SELECT * FROM Products
ORDER BY ProductName DESC;

Try it Yourself »

ORDER BY Several Columns


The following SQL statement selects all customers from the "Customers"
table, sorted by the "Country" and the "CustomerName" column. This means
that it orders by Country, but if some rows have the same Country, it orders
them by CustomerName:

Example
SELECT * FROM Customers
ORDER BY Country, CustomerName;

Try it Yourself »

Using Both ASC and DESC


The following SQL statement selects all customers from the "Customers"
table, sorted ascending by the "Country" and descending by the
"CustomerName" column:

Example
SELECT * FROM Customers
ORDER BY Country ASC, CustomerName DESC;
