Just do: SELECT * FROM thetable ORDER BY yourfieldyouwanttoorder If you want it in reverse order you add DESC in the end. /Peter -----Original Message----- From: John Nichel [mailto:jnichel@by-tor.com] Sent: Monday, June 19, 2006 5:51 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: mysql ORDER BY problem Rob W. wrote: > It's not in general to mysql, it's how php and mysql is displaying it. > That's not what you asked. You asked how to do it with your query, which has nothing, nadda, zip to do with PHP. You want MySQL to do the sorting, look at the MySQL manual under the select syntax, or ask on the MySQL list. You want PHP to do the sorting, look at PHP's array functions; however, it'd be more efficient to go the MySQL route. > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Rasmussen" <mir@miras.org> > To: <php-general@lists.php.net> > Sent: Sunday, June 18, 2006 4:51 PM > Subject: [PHP] Re: mysql ORDER BY problem > > >> On Sun, 18 Jun 2006 15:55:14 -0500, Rob W. wrote: >> >>> >>> Is there a way with my mysql query so that I can list the numbers in >>> correct order? >>> >> In what way is this problem related to PHP? >> Try a MySQL group instead. >> -- By-Tor.com ...it's all about the Rush http://www.by-tor.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
