Why doesn't this work?

SELECT * FROM books ORDER BY Genre, BY Title;

There are two problems

  1. In the challenge, Genre and Title are not supposed to be capitalized
  2. In front of the "title" category, an extra word "BY" was added

So, the final format should look like this

SELECT * FROM books ORDER BY category_one, category_two;

I hope that helps :smile:
