Try: order by left(start_date,7)
That will order by year then month for a standard date column.. Cheers, Andrew -----Original Message----- From: Mike At Spy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday 10 July 2003 20:51 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ORDER BY with Date Format I am trying to create an order by in a select statement that takes a standard 'date' column in a table and sorts the returned data by the month of that date. Off hand, I tried ORDER BY start_date(m) And I know that is wrong. Anyone have any suggestions?
