How to group and sort in MySQL queries?

To perform a grouped query with sorting in MySQL, you can utilize the GROUP BY and ORDER BY clauses.

For instance, let’s say we have a table named “employees” that includes fields for employee names and salaries. We want to group by salary and sort in descending order based on salary.

You can use the following query statement:

Show the employee names alongside their highest salary, ordered by highest salary.

Employees will be grouped according to salary and sorted in descending order based on the highest salary.
