Asending order for hiredate

What am I doing wrong?

SQL> select ename, job, oder by (ascending order)hiredate  from emp where hiredate between '20-FEB-81' AND '01-MAY-81';
select ename, job, oder by (ascending order)hiredate  from emp where hiredate between '20-FEB-81' AND '01-MAY-81'
                    *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected

Table

SQL> select ename, job, hiredate  from emp where hiredate between '20-FEB-81' AND '01 MAY-81';

ENAME      JOB       HIREDATE
---------- --------- ---------
BLAKE      MANAGER   01-MAY-81
JONES      MANAGER   02-APR-81
ALLEN     开发者_JAVA技巧 SALESMAN  20-FEB-81
WARD       SALESMAN  22-FEB-81

1. The ORDER BY clause comes after the WHERE clause
2. The ORDER BY clause is a separate clause-- you don't apply it to the column in the SELECT list.
3. The syntax is ORDER BY column_name [ASC|DESC]

So you'd want something like

SQL> select ename, job, hiredate
  2    from emp
  3   where hiredate between to_date( '20-FEB-81', 'DD-MON-RR' ) and
  4                          to_date( '01-MAY-81', 'DD-MON-RR' )
  5   order by hiredate asc;

ENAME      JOB       HIREDATE
---------- --------- ----------
ALLEN      SALESMAN  1981-02-20
WARD       SALESMAN  1981-02-22
JONES      MANAGER   1981-04-02
BLAKE      MANAGER   1981-05-01

order comes last (you also had "oder" not "order")

select ename, job, hiredate  
from emp where hiredate between '20-FEB-81' AND '01-MAY-81'
order by hiredate  asc

ascending is the default so unless you want descending it is not needed but it is good for readability

select ename, job, hiredate  from emp where hiredate between '20-FEB-81' AND '01 MAY-81' order by hiredate acs
