10,061 PointsQuery not correct, but visually, it is returning precisely what is asked. What gives?
Task: Generate a list of strings that are in the following format: Andrew Chalkley andrew@teamtreehouse.com. Concatenate the first name, last name and email address for all users.
Visually, my query is returning exactly what the task says to return, but it's not correct. Where am I wrong? My query:
select first_name || " " || last_name || " <" || email || "> " as to_field from patrons order by last_name asc;
On a side note, i wasn't able to choose SQL as a location for posting. Shouldn't that be an option?

Treehouse TeacherHi there! I believe you're referring to this challenge. Yes, it's the correct format as far as the string. However, you did something here that the challenge neither asked for nor was prepared to handle exactly. You are ordering your results alphabetically by their last name which means that the results are now in the incorrect order.
Simply removing the order by part, causes this to pass Step 1 of the challenge.
Hope this helps!
