Multiple column sorting in MySQL?

Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable    -> (    -> Id int,    -> Value int    -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.68 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values(100,85885); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(101,885995474); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(100,895943); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

Output

This will produce the following output −

+------+-----------+ | Id   | Value     | +------+-----------+ |  100 |     85885 | |  101 | 885995474 | |  100 |    895943 | +------+-----------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query for multiple column sorting order −

mysql> select Id,Value from DemoTable order by Value DESC;

Output

This will produce the following output −

+------+-----------+ | Id   | Value     | +------+-----------+ |  101 | 885995474 | |  100 |    895943 | |  100 |     85885 | +------+-----------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
