Re: [PHP-DB] sql statement - complex order by

Thanks... select * from productgroup where groupid = $productid order by (label = 'Cats') desc, title And I do hope you're properly validating and escaping $productid. -Stut -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP-DB] sql statement - complex order by
Try this: SELECT * FROM productgroup WHERE groupid = $productid ORDER BY label = 'Cats' DESC, title The test SQL I did to make sure I understood it was this (against our Users table): select * from users order by first = 'Bob' DESC, first, last It put all the Bobs first, sorting them by first/last, then put everyone else after the Bobs sorted by first/last. If you don't put DESC on the 'Cats', it looks like it'll put the 'Cats' at the bottom of the list.

Re: [PHP-DB] sql statement - complex order by
I think there's one small piece of data I left out. I'm working with php/mssql, no mysql. I'll move to mysql when I get everything else built. Mssql 2000 doesn't seem to like the = sign in the order by clause. It looks like both of you so far have come up with the same syntax though so it must work on mysql. ;-) Thanks guys...
