Question

I have data like this :

| col1 |
--------
|  1   |
|  2   |
|  1   |
|  2   |
|  1   |
|  2   |
|  1   |
|  2   |
|  1   |
|  2   |

How can I get like this and order by MAX to Min :

| col1 |
--------
|  2   |
|  1   |

I try this :

SELECT col1 , count(col1 ) FROM myTable GROUP BY col1

But I got strange results

Answer 1

If you want to order by the count of occurences of each value:

SELECT col1, count(1) FROM myTable GROUP BY col1 ORDER BY count(1) DESC

If you want to order by the actual value contained in col1

SELECT DISTINCT col1 FROM myTable ORDER BY col1 DESC
