MySQL Sort by Two Fields: Complete Guide

In MySQL, you can use the ORDER BY clause to sort by two fields. For example, if you want to sort in ascending order by column1 and column2, you can use the following query statement:

SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY column1, column2;

To sort in ascending order by column1 and then in descending order by column2, you can use the following query:

SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY column1 ASC, column2 DESC;

In the ORDER BY clause, ASC indicates sorting in ascending order, while DESC indicates sorting in descending order. The sorting method can be adjusted based on specific needs.
