Hello,
I've got a table which containes two date colomns.
The first one is called `date` and the second `update`
In the first one I put the ticket creation date, and on update I add or change the update value. So the update colomn does not contain a value until the first update has been done. I would like to order the tickets by their last update value. And if this value does not exist use the date value.

at the moment I use this :

ORDER BY `date` DESC"
and I would like to replace it by something like this :

ORDER (IF `update`!= '' BY UPDATE ELSE BY DATE)

I know this code is completly wrong, just to try and show you what I need ...

Here is an example of what I want to achieve

num     |       date    |       update
-------------------------------------------
1       |       1       |       
2       |       10      |       60
3       |       20      |       
4       |       30      |       
5       |       40      |       90
6       |       50      |       

The required result would be :

num     |       date    |       update
-------------------------------------------
5       |       40      |       90
2       |       10      |       60
6       |       50      |       
4       |       30      |       
3       |       20      |       
1       |       1       |       

Thanks in advance :)
