Answer 1

Try this

select * from tablename order by total desc

Selecting two things to ORDER BY doesn't work too well if you're not familiar with ORDER BY syntax. from your description, it looks like you just want the highest total at the top. This query will order the results by total descending (highest first)

if you want the names to be ascending (lowest first) at the same time, try

select * from tablename order by name asc, total desc
