Hive supports various sorting methods, including:

  1. Single column sorting: Use the ORDER BY clause to sort the query results by a single column.
  2. Multiple column sorting: Sort the query results by multiple columns using the ORDER BY clause and multiple columns.
  3. Partition Sorting: The ORDER BY clause can be used in the partition table to sort the data within the partitions.
  4. Aggregated sorting: after grouping data using the GROUP BY clause, you can use the ORDER BY clause to sort the grouped results.
  5. Custom sorting: Custom sorting functions can be used to achieve custom sorting of data.

Generally speaking, Hive offers a variety of sorting options, allowing users to choose the most suitable method based on their specific requirements for data sorting.
