i have a question on dynamic sql sorting

if i do

select lastName, firstName
from Name
order by lastName, firstName

it's automatically sorted by lastName by ascending order, and firstName by ascending order
if i want to sort lastName by ascending order, and firstName by descending order, what should i do??

select lastName, firstName
from Name
order by lastName asc, firstName dec

the above code gives me a syntax error

thanks for helping me"
