ORDER BY clause
Use the ORDER BY
clause to sort data.
ORDER BY time DESC
By default, InfluxDB returns results in ascending time order; the first point
returned has the oldest timestamp and
the last point returned has the most recent timestamp.
ORDER BY time DESC
reverses that order such that InfluxDB returns the points
with the most recent timestamps first.
Syntax
SELECT_clause FROM_clause [WHERE_clause] [GROUP_BY_clause] ORDER BY time DESC
If the query includes a GROUP BY
clause, ORDER by time DESC
must appear after the GROUP BY
clause.
If the query includes a WHERE
clause and no GROUP BY
clause, ORDER by time DESC
must appear after the WHERE
clause.
