How to order by count desc in each group in a hive?

Question

Here\'s the HQL:

select A, B, count(*) as cnt from test_table group by A, B order by cnt desc;

The sample output is as follows:

Answer 1

select A, B, count(*) as cnt 
from test_table 
group by A, B 
order by A, cnt desc;

Answer 2

select A, B, count(*) as cnt from test_table group by A, B order by A asc, B asc, cnt desc;

Answer 3

Try this query:

If you want only order of A then:

select A, B, count(*) as cnt from test_table group by A, B order by A asc;

If you want order of A and B then:

select A, B, count(*) as cnt from test_table group by A, B order by A asc,B asc;

Hope this helps.
