Description
In this PostgreSQL tutorial, we explore a simple yet powerful SQL trick: sorting query results using column positions, such as ORDER BY 1, ORDER BY 2, and so on.
This syntax allows you to sort results by referring to the position of a column in the SELECT list—not its actual name. It’s especially handy in scenarios like:
Using GROUP BY with aggregate functions
Sorting when using expressions or functions
Making your queries more concise
You’ll learn:
How ORDER BY 1, ORDER BY 2 work
When and why to use positional sorting
Practical examples using a GROUP BY and aggregate query
Caveats: readability concerns and overuse in complex queries
📌 Example:
SELECT department, COUNT(*) FROM employees GROUP BY department ORDER BY 2 DESC;
This sorts the output by the second column (COUNT(*)) in descending order.
💡 This is a neat tool for developers who want cleaner, shorter SQL—but it’s also important to know when not to use it.
