Hi!
I would like to know if it's possible to give a priority order of how
to sort the returning rows?
Like for example to order every row with a field language = DK first,
then the rows with field language = *DE' and last the other languages,
ordered alphabetically…?
Well, I think you can do something like:
ORDER BY (language = 'DK'), (language = 'DE'), language
(or you could possibly condense the first two into one with case)
Due to the sorting of boolean values, you'd need:
ORDER BY language = 'DK' desc, language like '%DE' desc, language;
Yep, someday I'll remember that 0 is less than 1. ;)
I only remember it after I try it once and wonder why my trues are at the bottom!
