MySQL Order By


Sort the Result

Use the ORDER BY statement to sort the result in ascending or descending order.

The ORDER BY keyword sorts the result ascending by default. To sort the result in descending order, use the DESC keyword.

Example

import mysql.connector

mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
  host="localhost",

user="yourusername",
  password="yourpassword",
  database="mydatabase"
)

mycursor =
mydb.cursor()

sql = "SELECT * FROM customers ORDER BY name"

mycursor.execute(sql)

myresult = mycursor.fetchall()

for x in myresult:
  print(x)

ORDER BY DESC

Use the DESC keyword to sort the result in a descending order.

Example

import mysql.connector

mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
  host="localhost",

user="yourusername",
  password="yourpassword",
  database="mydatabase"
)

mycursor = mydb.cursor()

sql = "SELECT * FROM customers ORDER BY
name DESC"

mycursor.execute(sql)

myresult = mycursor.fetchall()

for x in myresult:

print(x)
