Order By (MYSQL)

We use Order By Keyword to sort the records in a recordset. The general syntax is as under.

Syntax:

SELECT columnname(s) FROM tablename ORDER BY columnname SortOrder

Example:
Table Name(empinfo)

FirstName	LastName	Email	DOB
Steve	Martin	smart.steve@studiesinn.com	08-04-1988
David	Fernandas	davidfernandas@studiesinn.com	04-16-1977
Ajay	Rathor	ajayrathor@studiesinn.com	08-24-1986

$con = mysql_connect("localhost:3306","adam","123456");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

}

mysql_select_db("mydb", $con);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM empinfo order by FirstName asc");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['FirstName'] . " " . $row['LastName'] . “ “ $row[‘DOB];
echo "<>";
}
mysql_close($con);
?>

The Output will be
Ajay Rathor 08-24-1986
David Fernandas 04-16-1977
Steve Martin 08-04-1988
