Multiple "Order by" Tree

Recommended Posts

I need to order by row parameter then by another row parameter then finally order these results by DESC is it possible?

 

one row called "animaltype" holds one of 5 variables either:(tiger,owl,whale,monkey,dog)

Another row holds one of 5 other variables either:

(blue,black,orange,pink,gold)

the last row holds the "id" which tells desc to order by "time" or "date"

 

i want to run a query to bring back a result of:\

only blue owls in descending order by their "id"

 

please cobstruct this ORDER Statement for me. Many Thanks

SELECT * FROM table WHERE animaltype = 'owl' AND animalcolor = 'blue' ORDER BY id DESC;

 

No multiple ORDER BY's needed, deffinately start reading MYSQL books because thats about as basic as it gets.
