given the fact that all the databases I have worked with, that is mysql, postgre, ms-sql, access and a billion others that DO automatically arrange it in alphabetical order...... there is no need for ASC or DESC

no you dont need a semi colon at end of statement, and there is no need for ASC or DESC therefore the correct answer should be:

SELECT Last_name, First_name, Home_phone FROM FRIENDS WHERE State = "NSW" ORDER BY Last_name

Actually, if you wanted the correct answer, it wouldn't be on 1 line :D :p
