How would I go about creating an SQL line that puts each car from new to old (Years) but also keeps it in alphabetical order
For example it needs to do this
2018 Acura Model X 2018 Acura Model X 2017 Acura Model X 2017 Acura Model X 2018 Audi Model X 2017 Audi Model X 2018 BMW Model X
This is how its displaying

Answer
You may try the following query:
SELECT * FROM yourTable ORDER BY SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTR(name, 6), ' ', 1), -- order ascending by model name LEFT(name, 4) DESC; -- order descending by model year
The call I make to SUBSTRING_INDEX
extracts the second word from the model string. This is assumed to be the model name.
