What is the method for sorting strings in SQL Server?

In SQL Server, you can use the ORDER BY clause to sort strings. The ORDER BY clause can be used for a single column or multiple columns, and can sort in ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order.

For example, if there is a table named “customers” with a column named “customer_name”, you can use the following statement to sort the column in ascending order:

Show the names of customers in ascending order.

If you want to sort in descending order, you can replace ASC with DESC.

Retrieve the customer names from the customers table and order them in descending order.

In addition, the ORDER BY clause can also be used to sort multiple columns at the same time. For example, if you want to first sort by the “customer_name” column and then by the “customer_age” column, you can use the following statement:

Retrieve the customer’s name and age from the customers table, sorting them in ascending order based on the customer’s name first and then their age.

In this example, sort the data first by the “customer_name” column in ascending order, and then by the “customer_age” column in ascending order if the “customer_name” values are the same.
