Answer 1

Why are you grouping by? Do you mean order by?

SELECT player_name, player_salary, player_salary * 1.1 AS NewSalary
FROM players
ORDER BY player_salary, player_name;

Answer 2

You don't need to use GROUP BY but using it won't change the outcome. Just add an ORDER BY line at the end to sort your results.

SELECT player_name, player_salary, SUM(player_salary*1.1) AS NewSalary
FROM players
GROUP BY player_salary, player_name;
ORDER BY SUM(player_salary*1.1) DESC

Answer 3

Here it is:

select player_name, player_salary, (player_salary * 1.1) as player_newsalary
from player 
order by player_name, player_salary, player_newsalary desc

You don't need to "group by" if there is only one instance of a player in the table.

Answer 4

Why use GROUP BY at all?

SELECT player_name, player_salary, player_salary*1.1 AS NewSalary
FROM players
ORDER BY player_salary DESC
