What is the ORDER BY statement in MySQL

Question

Hi!!

Can someone tell me what is ORDER BY statement in MySQL?

Answer 1

This statement is used to sort the desired results in ascending or descending order. By default, the results would be sorted in ascending order. If you want the records in the result-set in descending order, then use the DESC keyword.

Syntax:

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