• Can someone *PLEASE* check that the Q posers actually read what they write.

    Or maybe it's me that's can't read properly. If so, can someone please explain to me how a descending date sort ('Select EmpName, DateOfLeaving from Employees order by DateOfLeaving desc, EmpName asc') can produce an ascending date order ('and all others sorted ascending order of date of leaving')

    Of course, once again, the English is not very clear, and is subject to misinterpretation (as mentioned in a previous topic post), but in making it read in proper English like what I do (cf Ernie Wise for this grammatical construct), I cannot see how the 3rd answer offered can possible be correct.

    Maybe the poser is confusing 'date' with 'age'?
