MySQL Sort Ascending: ORDER BY ASC Guide

To perform ascending sorting in MySQL, you can use the ORDER BY clause in the SELECT statement.

The syntax format is as follows:

SELECT 列名 FROM 表名 ORDER BY 列名 ASC;

The column name is the name of the column you want to sort by, and the table name is the name of the table from which you want to select data. The ASC keyword is used to specify ascending order.

For example, let’s say you have a table called “customers” with a column named “first_name”, you can use the following statement to sort in ascending order:

SELECT * FROM customers ORDER BY first_name ASC;

The results will be sorted in alphabetical order based on the “first_name” column, and returned.

You can also sort by multiple columns. For example, if you want to first sort by the “last_name” column, and then by the “first_name” column, you can use the following statement:

SELECT * FROM customers ORDER BY last_name ASC, first_name ASC;

This will first be sorted by the “last_name” column, then within the same “last_name” column, it will be sorted by the “first_name” column.
