Question

I have a table as given below

 FirstName            SurName
    Himaja          V
    Himaja           K
   mahendar          Faye 
    Karthik                  Null
   Varun                    M

Now I want to sort this table so that the required output would be alphabetical order from A to Z same in the Surname also.

Can any one help me regarding this ?

Answer 1

select * from table order by FirstName, SurName;

You can add more than one column to the order clause. If the FirstName values are the same, then the rows are ordered by SurName.
