MySQL Sorting: ORDER BY Clause Guide

In MySQL, you can sort data using the ORDER BY clause. The syntax is as follows:

SELECT * 
FROM table_name 
ORDER BY column_name [ASC|DESC];

In this case, SELECT * stands for selecting all columns, table_name stands for the name of the table to be queried, column_name represents the column to be sorted, ASC represents sorting in ascending order, and DESC represents sorting in descending order. If the sorting method is not specified, it defaults to ascending order. Depending on the situation, you can choose ASC or DESC for sorting.
