The single quote (') is used to contain a string of characters. The backtick
(`) may be used around a field name. On some fonts these characters can look
very similar so if one was copying an example from a book, the wrong one might
be used.
The single quote in this case could easily confuse the ORDER BY clause or at
least generate results other than those expected.
