like ,
select * from <table name> order by <field name>

You can also add AFTER ORDER BY <field name> ASCENDING or DESCENDING

ASCENDING is default for DESCENDING you need to specify DESC after the field name.

ASCENDING is default for DESCENDING you need to specify DESC after the field name.

Should have specidied, u're right, sorry.
