Sorting Results

By default, SQL doesn't guarantee a particular row order. To sort your results, use `ORDER BY`:

SELECT * FROM employees ORDER BY salary

This sorts rows by salary in ascending order (lowest first). You can also expressly specify `ASC` for ascending:

SELECT * FROM employees ORDER BY salary ASC

To sort in descending order (highest first), add `DESC`:

SELECT * FROM employees ORDER BY salary DESC

You can sort by multiple columns too:

SELECT * FROM employees ORDER BY department, name

This sorts by department first, then by name within each department.
