MySQL order by from highest to lowest value?
To order by from highest to lowest value, you can use ORDER BY DESC command −
select *from yourTableName order by yourColumnName DESC;
If you want the result from lowest to highest, you can use ORDER BY ASC command −
select *from yourTableName order by yourColumnName ASC;
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( Value int ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.56 sec)
Insert records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(134); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(245); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(451); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(1090); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(789); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(434); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.22 sec)
Display records from the table using select command −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+-------+ | Value | +-------+ | 134 | | 245 | | 451 | | 1090 | | 789 | | 434 | +-------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Case 1 −Order by from highest to lowest value −
mysql> select *from DemoTable order by Value DESC;
This will produce the following output −
+-------+ | Value | +-------+ | 1090 | | 789 | | 451 | | 434 | | 245 | | 134 | +-------+ 6 rows in set (0.07 sec)
Case 2 −Order by from lowest to highest value −
mysql> select *from DemoTable order by Value ASC;
This will produce the following output −
+-------+ | Value | +-------+ | 134 | | 245 | | 434 | | 451 | | 789 | | 1090 | +-------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
