Hello, I have a colum as varchar with entries like MD1-1, SD1-10, MD1-4354, KD2-998, ...
Now I have a problem with sorting them, because they are treated as a string (f.e. MD1-1 is bigger than KD-998). My order query: $order = "SUBSTRING_INDEX(b.objektname, '-', 1)"; // getting everithing left of the "-" $order .= ", RIGHT(b.objektname, LENGTH(b.objektname) - LOCATE(b.objektname))"; // try to get everything right of the "-". I am getting an SQL-Error. Could you help me?
