Impala ORDER BY子句用于根据一个或多个列以升序或降序对数据进行排序。 默认情况下，一些数据库按升序对查询结果进行排序。

语法

以下是ORDER BY子句的语法。

select * from table_name ORDER BY col_name [ASC|DESC] [NULLS FIRST|NULLS LAST]

可以使用关键字ASC或DESC分别按升序或降序排列表中的数据。

以同样的方式，如果我们使用NULLS FIRST，表中的所有空值都排列在顶行; 如果我们使用NULLS LAST，包含空值的行将最后排列。

例

假设我们在数据库my_db中有一个名为customers的表，其内容如下

[quickstart.cloudera:21000] > select * from customers;
Query: select * from customers 
+----+----------+-----+-----------+--------+ 
| id | name     | age | address   | salary | 
+----+----------+-----+-----------+--------+ 
| 3  | kaushik  | 23  | Kota      | 30000  | 
| 1  | Ramesh   |  32 | Ahmedabad | 20000  | 
| 2  | Khilan   | 25  | Delhi     | 15000  | 
| 6  | Komal    | 22  | MP        | 32000  | 
| 4  | Chaitali | 25  | Mumbai    | 35000  |
