The SQL ORDER BY Keyword

The ORDER BY keyword is used to sort the result-set in ascending or descending order.
The ORDER BY keyword sorts the records in ascending order by default. To sort the records in descending order, use the DESC keyword.

SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
ORDER BY column1, column2, ...ASC|DESC;

ORDER BY

SELECT * FROM wikitechytable ORDER  BY name;
