:point_right: Here's some generic hints:

  • when they say "Select all columns", they mean use "*" (don't list them all by name)
  • when using ORDER BY with multiple columns, list them separated by a comma

If you need more specific help, please post your code. A link to the challenge page would also be helpful.

SELECT * FROM books ORDER BY first_published LIMIT ASC 5;

Here is what I have so far. when I put this, it says i'm missing the WHERE, but when i put WHERE it says im missing ORDER BY. It's the very first challenge on the Reporting SQL videos. Thanks
