Database Foundations Reading Data from Databases with SQL Ordering the Result Set [Solved]

On the second challenge task I don't seem to be able to answer correctly, I have tried all the variants just in case I missunderstood the question.

"Order "movies" with the release "year" ascending with the "title" in alphabetical order."

SELECT year, title FROM movies ORDER BY year ASC, title ASC ;

I have done this in all the posible variants (without the ask, cnangin the select order of the items, DESC one or the thwo items in all orders). Still I always get the same mistake: " Bummer! Your query is not ordering 'movies' by release 'year' and then by 'title'."

But the results show me it is!!

Any hints would be appreciated

Select everything instead of just year and title...

SELECT * FROM movies ORDER BY year ASC, title ASC;

Thanks Carlson, I was pretty sure I had tried that first, but it seemed not! Thanks a lot! I was in one of those "bang my head against the screen till it works" moment.
