Order By Command Not Working

Hi,

I have a report where I'm trying to sort by last name then first name.  I cannot get the Order By command to work.  Can someone share with me what I might be doing wrong?  Syntax Below:

ORDER BY d.lname, d.fname DESC

    I tried and it still does not work.  Anything else I might try.  Where you able to get it to work on your side.

  • Triland,

    What is your desired result, and what are you getting that isn't working?

    The line:

    ORDER BY d.lname, d.fname DESC

    should order the results by lname _ascending_, followed by fname descending:

    Adams John

    Adams Abigail

    Brown Sally

    Brown Charlie

    For ORDER BY "ascending " (asc) is implied, "descending" is must be specified, and you specify it column by column.
