Re: order by ASC

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It hates me:

SELECT * FROM ... WHERE `type` IN ('Member', 'Affiliated', 'Life Member') ORDER BY CAST(rollnumber AS int) SELECT * FROM ... WHERE `type` IN ('Member', 'Affiliated', 'Life Member') ORDER BY CAST(`rollnumber` AS int) SELECT * FROM ... WHERE `type` IN ('Member', 'Affiliated', 'Life Member') ORDER BY CAST('rollnumber' AS int)

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'int) ASC' at line 1

I'll keep trying.

CAST it to an integer in the ORDER BY clause.

Ok, I think this is a MySQl question. Take pity on me?

$sql = "SELECT * FROM $db.`mailinglist` WHERE `type` IN ('Member', 'Affiliated', 'Life Member') ORDER BY `rollnumber` ASC";

rollnumber is a varchar(50). I need it to be a text field. ASC does not order the way I want.

1000
1001
998
999

I want it to order like this:

998
999
1000
1001

How do I trick it? I cannot think of a way in MySQL. Is there a way in PHP?
