Reg Order By

151 100+
hi



recently i had come across a query, where it included order by. But the order by statement was different. It looked like


select
................
............

from
......................
where
......................
......................

order by 5,4,3


what does these number indicate here.

thank you

those numbers refers to the ordinal position of the fields refered in the query. an d it always starts from 1.

order by 5,4,3 means

order by 5th field then by 4th filed then by 3rd field.
