How can we sort SQL by the order of a specific field va…
In SQL, results of a query can be sorted by the values of a specific field using the ORDER BY clause. The ORDER BY clause can be used at the end of the SELECT statement.
Here is an example showing how to sort the query results in the order of a field value named “field_name”.
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
ORDER BY field_name;
In the example above, “table_name” represents the name of the table to be queried, “column1, column2, …” represents the list of fields to be queried, and “field_name” is the name of the field to be sorted by its values.
By default, the ORDER BY clause sorts fields in ascending order, but you can use the DESC keyword to sort in descending order. Here is an example showing how to sort by field values in descending order:
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
ORDER BY field_name DESC;
In the above example, you can sort the field values in descending order by adding the keyword DESC in the ORDER BY clause.
