Instruction

Nice job! You can also sort rows by date using ORDER BY:

SELECT
  id,
  model,
  produced_date
FROM aircraft
WHERE produced_date BETWEEN '2009-01-01'
AND '2010-12-31'
ORDER BY produced_date;

As usual, you can define the sort order by adding ASC (the default sort order) or DESC at the end of the ORDER BY clause.

Exercise

Show the ID and date of all flights in 2015, so the most recent flights are first.

Stuck? Here's a hint!

Listing the newest dates first means you need descending order.
