The Sci-Fi Shelf

easySQLFilteringSorting

The StreamVerse homepage is getting a new sci-fi rail, and editorial wants the newest thing on the shelf to sit leftmost so the rail looks alive. They need the titles and the years, nothing else beside them.

shows — one row per title in the catalogue. genre is a single label such as sci-fi or drama; release_year is the year the title came out.

id title genre release_year
1 Nebula Drift sci-fi 2021
2 The Long Kitchen drama 2019
3 Byte Size comedy 2022
4 Deep Trench documentary 2020
5 Neon Alley sci-fi 2023

The table already exists in the database — there is nothing to create or load.

Task: Write a query that returns title and release_year for the shows filed under the sci-fi genre, most recent release first. Two titles released in the same year come back in alphabetical order of title.

Example output

Shape only — these titles and years are invented:

title release_year
Glass Canyon 2024
Slow Orbit 2018
