This function will sort the selected column into descending order.
First we make a table named ‘org’ into a database named ‘dbase’ within the reference of mySql(php myAdmin).Now we need to import all the java packages required by user. After calling all the packages we make a class named ‘JavaServletSortDESC’ extends the ‘HttpServlet’.now to use serviceMethod() which will getting the request from doGet() for output. After then load all the required Drivers. Some mandatory variable also to be define like resultset this variable will responsible for getting the value from desired Columns and rows. Connection variable which will establish the link between the database and actual code(frontEnd and backEnd).and the PreparedStatement this variable does execute the given query like executeQuery() as (SELECT last_name, job_id, dept_id, hire_date FROM org ORDER BY hire_date DESC).and in the end the doGet() method has to be used while getting the Output on the web Browser.
On the web browser the output seems to be normal But to get the Output in a designer or efficient look we use ‘HTML’ code or Tags for getting output in tabular form on a web browser.
