WH questions (Past tense)

Hi,

Can anybody tell me why question 1 is better than question 2 ?

1. "Could you tell me how you created these accounts ?"

2. "Could you tell me how did you create these accounts ?"

Thanks,
orwe

#2 is not a direct question, but it uses the word order for a direct question. This is an error. The word order is correct in #1.
