The code works in that sence that I get resultsets, the only thing that
does not work is the "ORDER BY" option for the SELECT statement. The
resultset is ordered by the exe column instead.

Should I run MyODBC instead?

Is the sourcecode for mysql.exe available?

Is there any miss-usage of mysql_query, mysql_store_result etc?

void StatisticsToday()
{
        char    szSQL[1024];
        MYSQL_RES*              res;    // Resultset
        MYSQL_ROW               row;    // Row
        int i, j;

        // Tried both below
        strcpy(szSQL, "SELECT DISTINCT exe, sum(duration) AS s FROM data
GROUP BY exe ORDER BY s DESC");
        strcpy(szSQL, "SELECT DISTINCT exe, sum(duration) FROM data
GROUP BY exe ORDER BY 2 DESC;");

        if (!mysql_query( myData, szSQL)) {
                res = mysql_store_result( myData ) ;
                i = (int) mysql_num_rows( res ) ; 
                while ( row = mysql_fetch_row( res ) ) 
                {
                        j=mysql_num_fields( res );
                        sprintf(szId, "%s %s", row[0], row[1]);
                }
                mysql_free_result( res ) ;
        } else {
                printf( "Couldn't execute %s on the server !\n", szSQL )
;
        }
}

Then I would suggest you check your C code.
The program 'mysql' uses the C API.
