Neo4j Order By Clause

In Neo4j, The ORDER BY Clause is used to arrange the result data in order.

Syntax:

MATCH (n)  
RETURN n.property1, n.property2 . . . . . . . .  
ORDER BY n.property 

Let's create some nodes in the Neo4j database.

CREATE(a:student{name:"Ajeet", YOB: 1989, Marks:80, country: "India"})
CREATE(b:student{name:"Mayur", YOB: 1990, Marks:70, country: "India"})
CREATE(c:student{name:"Chetna", YOB: 1991, Marks:60, country: "India"})
CREATE(d:student{name:"Rahul", YOB: 1992, Marks:78, country: "India"})
CREATE(e:student{name:"Mohan", YOB: 1993, Marks:58, country: "India"})
CREATE(f:student{name:"Swati", YOB: 1994, Marks:85, country: "India"})

Output:

You can see that 6 nodes are created.

MATCH (n)  
RETURN n.name, n.Marks 
ORDER BY n.Marks 

Output:

Order Nodes by Multiple Properties

ORDER BY clause is used to arrange the nodes based on multiple properties.

Syntax:

MATCH (n) 
RETURN n 
ORDER BY n.property_1, n.property_2 

Example:

MATCH (n) 
RETURN n.name, n.Marks, n.country 
ORDER BY n.name, n.Marks

Output:

Order Nodes in Descending Order

Syntax:

MATCH (n) 
RETURN n 
ORDER BY n.property DESC 

Now arrange the nodes of the database in descending order:

MATCH (n)  
RETURN n.name, n.Marks 
ORDER BY n.Marks DESC
