Hello can’t we use ORDER BY DESC when using two column names?

ORDER BY column1, column2 DESC

it doesnt work.

If you need to combine two columns first and then sort based on the combination, you can do this:

I have two columns `lastname` and `organization`. If one is filled then the other one is always empty. A normal SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY organization,lastname would list all the organizations first and then the lastnames second, but I wanted to intermix them, so I did this:

SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY CONCAT(organization,lastname)

This will combine the two columns for the ORDER BY without actually creating a new column, so that lastname SMITH would appear in between organization RESQ and organization TIMET.

if(!isset($_GET['sort'])==’ASC’){
$sort=’DESC’;
$sort_link=’ASC’;
$sort_link2=’ASC’;
}else{
$sort=’DESC’;//will be the defualt
$sort_link=’ASC’;
$sort_link2=’ASC’;

yes You are right.

if some values are same in column_1 then second sort will be applied between those values.

Thanks
