What is the difference between sort ascending and descending?
Descending can also be thought of as climbing down the stairs of numbers starting from the highest value. Moving down the slide is descending. The opposite of descending order is known as ascending order, in which the numbers are arranged from lower value to higher value.
What is ascending descending called?
Ascending order is the complete opposite of descending order - it is also known as increasing order of importance. Items are arranged from lowest to highest value. The order starts with the smallest value coming first and ends with the biggest value.
When would you want to sort in descending sequence?
For example, when department name is the sort key and you want the data arranged alphabetically, that indicates ascending order. If you want the data arranged in reverse alphabetical order, then specify descending order.
