But to use your query, have you tried
SELECT *
FROM phone_book
ORDER BY last_name , first_name
LIMIT 20, 20

Courses Plus Student 39,426 PointsNo, it didn't work. I'm stuck on the task 2 of this challenge. The task is: Note: We will be writing ONLY the SQL query for this challenge.
Imagine you're developing a Contacts application on a phone. You have a database with a phone_book table. It has the columns, first_name, last_name and phone.
The phone has a technical limitation to show 20 contacts on a screen at a time. Write the SQL query to retrieve the 3rd page of results from the phone_book table. Contacts are ordered by last name and then first name.
