REMOVE CURRENT CHECK: CHECK IF END DATE < START DATE {RESULT: TRUE/FALSE}

REPLACE WITH FOLLOWING STEPS:

STEP 1
CHECK IF DATES ARE ASCENDING / DESCENDING {RESULT: ASCENDING/DESCENDING}

STEP 2
IF ASCENDING: SORT1 (BY DATE) & SORT2 (BY ID SMALL>LARGE)

IF DESCENDING: SORT1 (BY DATE) & SORT2 (BY ID LARGE>SMALL)

STEP 2 MUST USE 2 COLUMN SORT: https://learnsql.com/cookbook/how-to-order-by-two-columns-in-sql/
