Sql query for sorting the output in the descending order

17 New Member
Select distinct b.contributor, blogaddress,cou nt(b.contentid) RecipeCount,isn ull(c.cnt,0) Other
from weblogs.dbo.blo gentries b left outer join (select contributor , count(*) cnt from weblogs.dbo.blo gentries where category='food' and subcategory = 'others' group by contributor) c
on b.contributor = c.contributor
where category='food' and subcategory<>'o thers' and destid>0
group by b.contributor,b logaddress,cnt

When I execute the above query I get the below given output which is correct as per the data

Contributor Baseaddress Recipecnt others
Uma Balakumar umabalakumar.su lekha.com 81 0
Uma Shogalingam umashogalingam. sulekha.com 136 1
umaudayshanker umaudayshanker. sulekha.com 1 0
umpc umpc.sulekha.co m 2 1
uropinion uropinion.sulek ha.com 0 0
ushasuryamani ushasuryamani.s ulekha.com 19 2

I want an sql query which will display the top bloggers, sorting the output data in the descending order. The result should be displayed as:

Uma Shogalingam umashogalingam. sulekha.com 136 1
Uma Balakumar umabalakumar.su lekha.com 81 0
ushasuryamani ushasuryamani.s ulekha.com 19 2
umpc umpc.sulekha.co m 2 1
umaudayshanker umaudayshanker. sulekha.com 1 0
uropinion uropinion.sulek ha.com 0 0

use the ordinal position of the field

ORDER BY 4 DESC will sort the result set using the fourth column in descending order.

Using VB.NET I have a ListView with several columns. Two columns contain integer values, while the remaining contain string values. I am confused as to how I would provide functionality to sort columns based on the column header the user has clicked in both Ascending and Descending formats.

I have a "Report" that is created from a "Form". It prints a list of items, you may consider it a shopping list. In any event I use to run this in alphabetical order but have since decided to run it as it comes from the form (random order). My problem is I don't know how to make this happen. The report is sorted in ascending order and I don't know how to change that. I see only two options, ascending or descending. Can you help?...

Introduction This discussion of the sort function is targeted at beginners to perl coding. More experienced perl coders will find nothing new or useful. Sorting lists or arrays is a very common requirement of programs. If you don't know the difference between a list and array don't worry about it. A list is just an array without a name. They both can hold the same type of data: scalars or strings. I will use the terms "list" and "array" to...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
