# ORDER BY 子句

## 1. 语法概览

```sql
ORDER BY sortItem (',' sortItem)*

sortItem
    : expression (ASC | DESC)? (NULLS (FIRST | LAST))?
    ;
```

### 1.1 ORDER BY 子句

- 用于在查询的最后阶段对结果集进行排序，能够根据指定的排序条件，将查询结果中的行按照升序（ASC）或降序（DESC）进行排列。
- 提供了对 NULL 值排序位置的控制，允许用户指定 NULL 值是排在结果的开头（NULLS FIRST）还是结尾（NULLS LAST）。
- 默认情况下， 将采用 ASC  NULLS LAST排序，即值按升序排序，空值放在最后。可以通过手动指定其他参数更改默认排序顺序。
- ORDER BY 子句的执行顺序排在 LIMIT 或 OFFSET 子句之前。

## 2. 示例数据

在[示例数据页面](../Reference/Sample-Data.md)中，包含了用于构建表结构和插入数据的SQL语句，下载并在IoTDB CLI中执行这些语句，即可将数据导入IoTDB，您可以使用这些数据来测试和执行示例中的SQL语句，并获得相应的结果。

#### 示例 1: 按时间降序查询过去一小时的数据

```sql
SELECT *
  FROM table1
  WHERE time >= 2024-11-27 00:00:00  and time <= 2024-11-29 00:00:00
  ORDER BY time DESC;
```

执行结果如下：

```sql

#### 示例 2: 按 `device_id` 升序和时间降序查询所有设备过去一小时的数据，空 `temperature` 优先显示

```sql
SELECT *
  FROM table1
  WHERE time >= 2024-11-27 00:00:00  and time <= 2024-11-29 00:00:00
  ORDER BY temperature NULLS FIRST, time DESC;
```
