Stuck on challenge in Order By for Database

In the last challenge question for order by it says to order movies by year in ascending and title alphabetical. I can usually get it to do the year in order by the titles are not in alphabetical.

How do I tell sql to do both?

Thanks

Hi Ian,

You can achieve being able to order by both using a similar method to how you would select from two different columns.
