Ascending order

The retrieved data is sorted and displayed, by default, in ascending order. In the ASCII character set, ascending order is uppercase A to lowercase z for character data types, and lowest to highest value for numeric data types. DATE and DATETIME data is sorted from earliest to latest, and INTERVAL data is ordered from shortest to longest span of time.
