I have never done anything like this but after looking at the spec's I have a possible direction for you....
In String functions there is LOCATE(substr,str,pos) The first syntax returns the position of the first occurrence of substring substr in string str. The second syntax returns the position of the first occurrence of substring substr in string str, starting at position pos. Returns 0 if substr is not in str. I think that if you create a function that uses this to strip the string to the left of the last found space and that returns the string to the right you could call this in your query and use it in the order by statement. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
