How to sort multiple columns with a single query?

Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable
    -> (
    -> Id int,
    -> Value int
    -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.68 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values(100,85885);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable values(101,885995474);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable values(100,895943);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

Output

+------+-----------+
| Id   | Value     |
+------+-----------+
|  100 |     85885 |
|  101 | 885995474 |
|  100 |    895943 |
+------+-----------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to sort multiple columns −

mysql> select Id,Value from DemoTable order by Value DESC;

Output

+------+-----------+
| Id   | Value     |
+------+-----------+
|  101 | 885995474 |
|  100 |    895943 |
|  100 |     85885 |
+------+-----------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
