mcmuney Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 How do you perform multiple sorts. For example "ORDER BY "X" DESC". What if I wanted to order first by x, then y. How would I do that...ORDER BY "X" DESC AND ORDER BY "Y" DESC??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wickning1 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 It's just "ORDER BY x ASC, y DESC" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
