ORDER BY

Sorting the SELECT result using a comma-separated list of sorting criteria. As a criteria, you can use a column value or an expression on columns. Ordering by column sequence number is not supported (ORDER BY N where N is a number).

Each criteria can be followed by the sorting direction:

• ASC: Sorting in the ascending order. Applied by default.
• DESC: Sorting in the descending order.

Multiple sorting criteria will be applied left-to-right.

Example

SELECT key, string_column
FROM my_table
ORDER BY key DESC, LENGTH(string_column) ASC;

You can also use ORDER BY for window functions.
