However, instead of using the expression <code>LENGTH(title)<\/code> explicitly in the <code>ORDER BY<\/code> clause, it uses the ordinal positions of the expression:<\/p>\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\" aria-describedby=\"shcb-language-5\" data-shcb-language-name=\"SQL (Structured Query Language)\" data-shcb-language-slug=\"sql\"><span><code class=\"hljs language-sql\"><span class=\"hljs-keyword\">SELECT<\/span>\n    book_id,\n    title,\n    <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">LENGTH<\/span>(title)\n<span class=\"hljs-keyword\">FROM<\/span>\n    books\n<span class=\"hljs-keyword\">ORDER<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">BY<\/span>\n    <span class=\"hljs-number\">3<\/span>;\n<\/code><\/span><small class=\"shcb-language\" id=\"shcb-language-5\"><span class=\"shcb-language__label\">Code language:<\/span> <span class=\"shcb-language__name\">SQL (Structured Query Language)<\/span> <span class=\"shcb-language__paren\">(<\/span><span class=\"shcb-language__slug\">sql<\/span><span class=\"shcb-language__paren\">)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n<p>Here is the partial output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"182\" height=\"276\" src=\"https:\/\/db2tutorial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/db2-order-by-ordinal-positions-of-columns.png\" alt=\"db2 order by ordinal positions of columns\" class=\"wp-image-155\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a good practice to avoid the ordinal positions of columns in the <code>ORDER BY<\/code> clause. Because using the ordinal positions of columns in the <code>ORDER BY<\/code> clause makes the query difficult to maintain and may cause bugs if you forget to change the ordinal positions in the <code>ORDER BY<\/code> clause when you modify the select list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Db2 ORDER BY clause with NULL values<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <code>NULL<\/code> values are special. They are the markers indicating missing values. When you sort a list of values that consists of <code>NULL<\/code> values, you can specify whether to treat <code>NULL<\/code> values as the lowest or highest values by using the <code>NULLS FIRST<\/code> or <code>NULLS LAST<\/code> option:<\/p>\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\" aria-describedby=\"shcb-language-6\" data-shcb-language-name=\"SQL (Structured Query Language)\" data-shcb-language-slug=\"sql\"><span><code class=\"hljs language-sql\">ORDER BY expression &#91;NULLS FIRST | NULLS LAST]<\/code><\/span><small class=\"shcb-language\" id=\"shcb-language-6\"><span class=\"shcb-language__label\">Code language:<\/span> <span class=\"shcb-language__name\">SQL (Structured Query Language)<\/span> <span class=\"shcb-language__paren\">(<\/span><span class=\"shcb-language__slug\">sql<\/span><span class=\"shcb-language__paren\">)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n<p>The following query returns the title and ISBN of books.
