What does the "desc" do at the end of this sql statement
Howdy all,
Confused... I have a view in SQL that orders my outbound call pot. It was created for me by the software vendor. Does anyone know what the "desc" does to the following:
ORDER BY dbo.Activity.IPCMPriority DESC, Start_date DESC, Start_Time
When I add a sort on a field it doesnt add it to the field name??
Regards...

ORDER BY dbo.Activity.IPCMPriority DESC, Start_date DESC, Start_Time
here in your example your result set is sorted from bigger value to the smaller value for the IPCMPriority column then sorted by the Start_date from the newer date to the oldest date ...

ORDER BY would sort it ASC, DESC depending on what you specify. Default would be ASC.
