Here is the original query:

SELECT LPwebsite, LPMarlinBoards, LPSabreStars, LPEMail, LPMemoInMailbox, LPSAI, LPHI6, LPOtherBulletinBoards, LPVideotapes, LPInsideDFW, LPSabreSineIn, LPVideoOnTheWeb
FROM password

The results appear as this:

LPwebsite LPMarlinBoards LPSabreStars LPEMail
..........1................1...................0................0
..........1................0...................0................0
..........1................0...................0................0
..........1................0...................1................0
..........1................0...................0................0
..........1................0...................0................0
..........1................0...................0................0

LPmemoInMailbox LPSAI LPHI6 LPOtherBulletinBoards
..........1................1...................0................0
..........1................1...................0................1
..........0................1...................0................0
..........1................1...................0................0
..........1................1...................0................0
..........0................1...................0................0
..........1................0...................0................0

LPVideotapes LPInsideDFW LPSabreSineIn LPVideoOnTheWeb
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0


Here is the query that gives me the SUM of each column:

SELECT(Sum (lpwebsite)) as DFWWebsite, (sum(LPMarlinBoards)) as MarlinBoards, (sum(LPSabreStars)) as SabreStars, (sum(LPEMail)) as EMail, (sum(LPMemoInMailbox)) as Memoinmailbox, (sum(LPSAI)) as SAI, (sum(LPHI6)) as HI6, (sum(LPOtherBulletinBoards)) as OtherBulletinBoards, (sum(LPVideotapes)) as VideoTapes, (sum(LPInsideDFW)) as InsideDFW, (sum(LPSabreSineIn)) as Sabresinein, (sum(LPVideoOnTheWeb)) as VideoOnTheWeb
FROM password

Here are the results.

LPwebsite LPMarlinBoards LPSabreStars LPEMail
..........7..........1............1..........0

LPmemoInMailbox LPSAI LPHI6 LPOtherBulletinBoards
..........5...........6............0............1

LPVideotapes LPInsideDFW LPSabreSineIn LPVideoOnTheWeb
0 0 0 0



Is there anyway I can get the totals of each column and the show the results in a decending order?

ie:

LPwebsite LPSAI LPmemoInMailbox LPMarlinBoards
...........7.............6..............5...........1

LPSabreStars LPOtherBulletinBoards LPHI6 LPEMail
.............1..............1...............0............0

LPVideotapes LPInsideDFW LPSabreSineIn LPVideoOnTheWeb
0 0 0 0



I tried:

ORDER BY 2 DESC that graz suggested, but nothing happened.

Anyone have any suggestions.

Thanks.
