Hi,
I have mysql table which retains names,Data is written to mysql table
using
php query, however when I check the records, I amn't able to do the same
in
alphabetical order.
How do I make mysql to retain records in alphabetical order.
With an ORDER BY clause perhaps?
With regards,
SELECT * FROM mytable ORDER BY alphabetical_field
