MySQL ORDER BY Keyword
The MySQL ORDER BY Keyword
The ORDER BY keyword is used to sort the result-set in ascending or descending order.
The ORDER BY keyword sorts the records in ascending order by default. To sort the records in descending order, use the DESC keyword.
ORDER BY Syntax
FROM table_name
ORDER BY column1, column2, ... ASC|DESC;
