Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The ORDER BY keyword is used to sort the result-set in ascending or descending order. The ORDER BY keyword sorts the records in ascending order by default. To sort the records in descending order, use the DESC keyword.

Detailed explanation-3: -Still it’s easy to remember: ascending = increasing for numbers and alphabetical order for letters. Descending = the opposite.
