Does order by City,name help? - Original Message - From: Robert Pruitt [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 10:11 AM Subject: Compound Order By I'd like to do a dual order by.

I can easily do an order by City into a temp table, then order by name from within the temp table. Is this the best way? Is this the only way?

Re: Compound Order By
Hi, I'd like to do a dual order by. First, I want to order by City, then I want to order name. That way, the names within the city are alphabetized. I can easily do an order by City into a temp table, then order by name from within the temp table. Is this the best way? Is this the only way? ORDER BY city, name http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/sorting-rows.html I hope you're wearing a flame-retardant suit, because the flames are about to fly. :) Regards, Jeremy -- Jeremy Cole Technical Yahoo - MySQL (Database) Geek -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
