This is a more general DB query, but I've learned to trust the web2py
community, and web2py is where the answer will do me the most good.
I'm looking at a table where I want to have a custom ordering on a field.
Standard ascending and descending don't quite work for me in the use I'm
interested in. What I want to do is sort the field ("owner") so that the
value I'm most interested in is at the top ("owner='dave'"), and the rest
of the entries are sorted asc or desc. Is there a way to do that in a
single query, or do I need to make 2 queries and concatenate the results?
Is "group by" an appropriate SQL clause here?
Also, would that solution generalize to sorting by a set of values of
interest at the top ("owner='dave'|'bob'|'andy'")?
Thanks.
