Unless I don't know SQL, the results look correct. Anyone chime in to correct me.
Your query: select * from tst order by b, a desc; Is really: select * from tst order by b ASC, a desc; So, if you look at the rows from top to bottom, you'll see that for each value of 'b' in ascending order, you have the 'a' values in descending order.

I'm not sure if this a bug or if working as intended: the order by b,a seems to cause B to use asc.. Instead of the desc as written in the order by statement. create table tst (a integer, b integer ); sqlite> insert into tst values(1,1); sqlite> insert into tst values(1,2); sqlite> insert into tst values(1,3); sqlite> insert into tst values(2,3); sqlite> insert into tst values(2,2); sqlite> insert into tst values(2,1); sqlite> select * from tst order by b, a desc; a|b 2|1 1|1 2|2 1|2 2|3 1|3 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
