:point_right: It looks like you have your ordering criteria reversed:

SELECT * FROM movies ORDER BY year ASC, title ASC;

Since ascending is the default, you can probably also shorten the query like this:

SELECT * FROM movies ORDER BY year, title;

Anajali, it's tough to assist with SQL based questions without knowing what database is and what code challenge you're trying to create your query from unless it's an obvious syntax error.

I suspect you're referencing the same query these people have here, you can reference any of these for more information: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/order-movies-with-the-release-year-ascending-with-the-title-in-alphabetical-order-challenge-task-2-of-2-error

Thank you Steven, that was the correct answer. I wrote the same code as Anjali did.
