title: SQL: Sorting the same column asc then desc
body: <p>I tried using order by clause to sort and re-sort the data on the same column. My query was:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT * FROM Customers ORDER BY Country ASC, Country DESC;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The result is surprising. It sorts the <code>Country</code> Column in Ascending Order only. </p>
  
  <p>According to my knowledge, the <code>Country</code> Column should have been sorted in an Ascending order first, then in a Descending order.</p>
  
  <p>Why did SQL skip the next part of the query?</p>
