I cannot seem to get ORDER BY to work properly when I
want to sort using two different columns. I have code
similar to the following:
SELECT tracking_num, username
FROM reports
WHERE customer='$customer'
ORDER BY tracking_num, username
This will sort by tracking_num (int4, primary key), but
NOT by the username (varchar, not null). The confusing thing
is if I use:
ORDER BY username, tracking_num
it works, but it sorts by username first and then the
tracking number which is the reverse of what I want to do.
Why doesn't the first bit of code work as I expect?
