If your birthdays are stored in a DATE column, your example would be "1972-02-14". In this case, you can use the date functions of MySQL. Here are some examples (my table datum has only one column named datum, type DATE: mysql> SELECT * FROM datum ORDER BY DAYOFMONTH(datum); +------------+ | datum | +------------+ | 2002-02-08 | | 2003-02-08 | | 1964-12-17 | | 1958-08-29 | +------------+ 4 rows in set (0.02 sec) mysql> SELECT * FROM datum ORDER BY MONTH(datum), DAYOFMONTH(datum); +------------+ | datum | +------------+ | 2002-02-08 | | 2003-02-08 | | 1958-08-29 | | 1964-12-17 | +------------+ 4 rows in set (0.01 sec) HTH, -- Stefan Hinz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Geschäftsführer / CEO iConnect GmbH <http://iConnect.de> Heesestr. 6, 12169 Berlin (Germany) Tel: +49 30 7970948-0 Fax: +49 30 7970948-3 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Doanh Tran" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 11:14 PM Subject: order by birthday not year > Hi, > > I want to use the order by clause to list the birthday field by the > birthday not year.
