Question

I order some records by their value. If two records have the same value i want to order those two records by their date.
For example:

record1 34 1.1.2000
record2 26 3.4.2000
record3 26 2.4.2001
record4 76 1.5.2000

This should be ordered like this:

record4 76 1.5.2000
record1 34 1.5.2000
record3 26 2.4.2001
record2 26 3.4.2000

How can i manage this in SQL?

Answer 1

Like this:

SELECT * 
FROM myTable
ORDER BY Value, Date

Each of these can also have an ASC/DESC specifier:

SELECT * 
FROM myTable
ORDER BY Value ASC, Date DESC

Here is a link to MSDN, describing the syntax of the ORDER BY clause.
