I have Table2
id

I'd like to select all records from table 1, and have them sorted by name1.

What's the best way to do this?

Try this:

SELECT t1.*
FROM Table1 t1 INNER JOIN Table2 t2 ON t2.id = t1.nameID
ORDER BY t2.name1

Does that work for you?

However, the above solution does not output the column you are sorting by, so what practical good does this sorting do you?

Also, all records in data1 which have the same nameID value will be unsorted within themselves, if that matters.
