What is the default order?

Short answer. Ascending.

How do you put the highest marks first?

ORDER BY marks DESC.

Remember

ASC: small to big, default
DESC: big to small

Order by marks put the topper last. What did you miss? Ascending is the default, small to big. Add DESC for big to small. Now Meera comes first. Ascending is the default. DESC puts the biggest first.

This clip is from the full lesson: Sorting Results with ORDER BY — 5 minutes, with the tables, the quick answers and the whole lesson in text.

Useful for: CBSE Class 12 Computer Science (083), CBSE Class 12 Informatics Practices (065), CBSE Class 11 Information Technology (802), CBSE Class 12 Information Technology (802)
