ORDER BY Clause:

SQL contains “ORDER BY” clause in order to sort rows. The values get sorted in ascending as well as descending order. The keyword used to sort values in ascending order is “ASC” and for descending order is “DESC”. By default, it sorts values by ascending order.

Syntax:

SELECT column_Name1, column_Name2 FROM table_Name ORDER BY column_Name2;

GROUP BY Clause:

The GROUP BY clause is used to group the result of a SELECT statement done on a table where the tuple values are similar for more than one column

Syntax:

SELECT expression1, expression2, expression_n, aggregate_function (expression) FROM table_name WHERE conditions GROUP BY expression1, expression2, expression_n;
