You asked this question via e-mail:





thank u sir.. i got u'r answer..





sir suppose i have large data maintain in database.. how can i sort it..





With SQL:





SELECT *


FROM table


ORDER BY column ASC (DESC)





where "table" is the name of your table and "column" is the name of the column you want to sort; ASC is ascending order (lowest value to highest value); DESC is descending order (highest value to





For example, if you have a table like this:


Table name: People





ID Name Age


1 Bob 16


2 Tom 20


3 Jim 14





SELECT *


FROM People


ORDER BY Name ASC





would ouput:





ID Name Age


1 Bob 16


3 Jim 14


2 Tom 20





SELECT *


FROM People


ORDER BY Age DESC





would output:





ID Name Age


3 Tom 20


1 Bob 16


2 Jim 14
