Sorting behavior specification in order by for window function in GBQ

I am running a query in GBQ using window function. but I don’t exactly know how to specify sorting behavior. In order by column I have two columns which I want to sort rows by them in descending order. for that I used DESC at the end of order by clause but what I got is that it orders the rows first on ascending order for the first column and then descending on the second. my question is if I should specify sorting order for each column ?

here is the query which returns wrong order:

Answer

Sorting order should be specified on per column basis with ASC being default, so can be omitted. So, Yes – you should use DESC for each column as in below
