Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file (if you have any problems doing this, click here for help).

You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.

Open the database in the above folder.

Create a query which shows the films in the following order:

  • With the most recent films first; and
  • Where there are two or more films for the same year, sort these into alphabetical order.

Your final answer should look like this:
