Curriculum Lesson Objective

Sorting Data (ORDER BY ASC/DESC) & Limiting Results (TOP, LIMIT, OFFSET-FETCH)

ORDER BY sorts the returned records ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC), while TOP/LIMIT restricts row count. Key Sub-topics: • Sub-topic 1: Deterministic sorting with tie-breaker columns and collation impact on alphabetical ordering • Sub-topic 2: Pagination architecture: OFFSET-FETCH pagination overhead vs keyset (seek-based) pagination
