Instruction

Good! You can also sort by time:

SELECT
  Code,
  DepartureTime
FROM Route
ORDER BY ArrivalTime DESC;

Have you noticed that TIME and DATE data work very similarly?

Exercise

Show the Code and ArrivalTime of all routes that arrive before 4 PM. Order them by arrival time, with the earliest time first.

Stuck? Here's a hint!

Remember about the proper time format and use quotes: 'hh:mm:ss'. Note that 4 PM is '16:00:00' in T-SQL.
