SQL ORDER BY CLAUSE WITH ASCENDING ORDER

This statement is used to sort data in ascending order. If you miss the ASC attribute, SQL ORDER BY query takes ascending order by default.

Let's take an example of supplier

SELECT supplier_city
FROM suppliers
WHERE supplier_name = 'IBM'
ORDER BY supplier_city;

Let us take a CUSTOMERS table having the following records:

ID	NAME	AGE	ADDRESS	SALARY
1	Himani gupta	21	Modinagar	22000
2	Shiva tiwari	22	Bhopal	21000
3	Ajeet bhargav	45	Meerut	65000
4	Ritesh yadav	36	Azamgarh	26000
5	Balwant singh	45	Varanasi	36000
6	Mahesh sharma	26	Mathura	22000

This is an example to sort the result in ascending order by NAME and SALARY.

SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS
ORDER BY NAME, SALARY;

This would produce the following result.

ID	NAME	AGE	ADDRESS	SALARY
3	Ajeet bhargav	45	Meerut	65000
5	Balwant singh	45	Varanasi	36000
1	Himani gupta	21	Modinagar	22000
6	Mahesh sharma	26	Mathura	22000
4	Ritesh yadav	36	Azamgarh	26000
2	Shiva tiwari	22	Bhopal	21000
