Ordering Multiple Columns
When ordering your data, you can have multiple sort levels. For example, you can order your data by city and then by name within the city.
Syntax:
Select fieldname, fieldname, fieldname
from tablename
order by fieldname
Explanation:
- By default, the Order By clause orders the specified fields in ascending order.
- Typing "desc" after a field name in the Order By clause tells SQL you want the data in the specified field displayed in descending order (Z to A, 100 to 1).
- The first field name specified is the primary sort order, the second field name specified is the secondary sort order, and so on ...
Example:
Retrieve the city, name, and vendor ID from the TrnVendor table. Order your data by city and then by name within city:
- In the SQL text box, type:
Select City, Name, VendId
from TrnVendor
order by City, Name;
- Execute the SQL statement.
