your best bet is to do a union
ex:
SELECT
blahblah <this is your USA query>
FROM
cities
WHERE
country = USA
UNION
SELECT
blahblah <your Non-us cities>
FROM
cities
WHERE
country <> USA
try that.
a UNION "stacks" the queries on top of one another.

Subject: SQL Dropdown List
Hi. I have a dropdown list that lets users pick a country from a list of
company locations stored in a database. Possible entries are France
(Paris), England (London), etc. It all works fine. However, my supervisor
wants the USA (Cityname) entries to appear at the top of the list, since
they are the most common. I created this list using two separate SQL
queries, which I then used to generate the dropdown list. Is there a way to
do this sort using just a single SQL statement, so that I do not have to
juggle two queries?
For example, the list should look like this in the dropdown:
USA (Albequerque)
USA (Boston)
USA (Chicago)
Argentina (Buenos Aires)
Bolivia (La Paz)
Canada (Toronto)
etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Matthieu
