Order SOQL query by two fields

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

The same task, four prompts

Query all open opportunities, ordering them first by the 'CloseDate' field in ascending order, and then by 'Amount' in descending order, for the weekly sales pipeline review.

When I pull the sales pipeline, I need to see the most critical deals at the top. Order the opportunities by their 'Expected Revenue' (Amount multiplied by Probability) in descending order, and then by 'Close Date' ascending, so the sales director can immediately focus on the biggest, nearest wins.

The sales director just said my pipeline report is useless because it doesn't prioritize the deals they care about.
The sales director just said my pipeline report is useless because it doesn't prioritize the deals they care about. I sorted by close date, but they want to see the biggest, most impactful deals first, even if they're further out, and then by urgency. I'm afraid of getting it wrong again and wasting their time. What's the best way to order this query to reflect both strategic importance and immediate urgency?

My reports are often re-sorted manually by the sales team because the default order isn't useful.
My reports are often re-sorted manually by the sales team because the default order isn't useful, costing them time every Monday morning. I'm always guessing what order they actually need. What habit should I change to consistently deliver data ordered in a way that immediately serves their decision-making, rather than just a simple alphabetical or date sort?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from Salesforce's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
