Introduction to SQL

Challenge: Population Sort

Task

From the country table, retrieve the data from the population column, using a SELECT statement, and sort it in ascending order (default sort direction).

Here's a short example of the country table:

id	name	continent	region	surfacearea	capital	population
1	Japan	Asia	Eastern Asia	377829	Tokyo	126714000
2	Latvia	Europe	NULL	64589	Riga	2424200
3	Mexico	North America	Central America	1958201	Mexico City	98881000
...	...	...	...	...	...	...
15	Malta	Europe	Southern Europe	316	Valletta	380200
