SQL Order By Count

Question

If I have a table and data like this:

ID |  Name  |  Group   

1    Apple     A    

2    Boy       A

3    Cat       B

4    Dog       C

5    Elep      C

         


        

Answer 1

Try :

SELECT count(*),group FROM table GROUP BY group ORDER BY group

to order by count descending do

SELECT count(*),group FROM table GROUP BY group ORDER BY count(*) DESC

This will group the results by the group column returning the group and the count and will return the order in group order
