[PHP-DB] Multiple Sorts
How can I write a sort to sort on 2 columns, one ascending, one descending? $get_list = select * from access_tracking where user = '$user_id' order by time,date_accessed desc But the ordering seems backwards sorted by date first, and then time.

RE: [PHP-DB] Multiple Sorts
Robert, You should be able to just do: SELECT * FROM access_tracking WHERE user = '$user_id' ORDER BY time DESC,date_accessed ASC; Just experiment with the ORDER BY columns and the ASC and DESC orders to get the results you're looking for.

Re: [PHP-DB] Multiple Sorts
I asked this question several weeks ago; search for kc68 on this list archives and you should find the more complete response. The coding with my fields is: ?sort_field=cbc asc, net_receiptssort_order=desc Play with the order and asc and desc as another response suggested. What's confusing is that the first field requires only the asc statement where the second requires the full sort_order= Ken On Tue, 16 Mar 2004 07:57:25 -0500, Robert Sossomon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How can I write a sort to sort on 2 columns, one ascending, one descending? $get_list = select * from access_tracking where user = '$user_id' order by time,date_accessed desc But the ordering seems backwards sorted by date first, and then time.

[PHP-DB] Multiple Sorts??
Is there a way that I can sort data twice when it is being pulled from the DB? Here is a sample line of my code: $result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM pfiles WHERE cdate = '2002-07-01' ORDER BY 'cdate' DESC, $link); I would like to be able to sort this data FIRST by 'cdate' then by 'vendor' Is this possible?

Just add another sort criterium to your query like this: $result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM pfiles WHERE cdate = '2002-07-01' ORDER BY 'cdate' DESC, 'vendor' DESC, $link); Petr. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
