# row_number
Numbers the current row within its partition starting from 1.
**Syntax**
```sql
row_number (column_name)
OVER ([[PARTITION BY grouping_column] [ORDER BY sorting_column]
[ROWS or RANGE expression_to_bound_rows_withing_the_group]] | [window_name])
FROM table_name
WINDOW window_name as ([[PARTITION BY grouping_column] [ORDER BY sorting_column])
```
For more detail on window function syntax see: [Window Functions - Syntax](./index.md/#syntax).
**Returned value**
- A number for the current row within its partition. [UInt64](../data-types/int-uint.md).
**Example**
The following example is based on the example provided in the video instructional [Ranking window functions in ClickHouse](https://youtu.be/Yku9mmBYm_4?si=XIMu1jpYucCQEoXA).
Query:
```sql
CREATE TABLE salaries
(
`team` String,
`player` String,
`salary` UInt32,
`position` String
)
Engine = Memory;
INSERT INTO salaries FORMAT Values
('Port Elizabeth Barbarians', 'Gary Chen', 195000, 'F'),

('New Coreystad Archdukes', 'Scott Harrison', 150000, 'D'),
('Port Elizabeth Barbarians', 'Robert George', 195000, 'M');
```
```sql
SELECT player, salary,
row_number() OVER (ORDER BY salary DESC) AS row_number
FROM salaries;
```
Result:
