What is your column type? Why you don't use ORDER BY your_date_column
in the SELECT statement? It should work, but I can say you exactly
because I don't know your table structure. The other causes of wrong
result might be that something is not correct in your SQL statement.
NW Right. here is the db schema: Feel free to berate me if I'm missing the
NW obvious :-)
NW CREATE TABLE iaadiplom_timetable
NW (
NW id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
NW module ENUM('0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5'),
NW week VARCHAR(255) NULL,
NW date DATE NOT NULL,
NW ektione VARCHAR(255) NULL,
NW title TEXT NULL,
NW teacher_id INT NULL,
NW PRIMARY KEY(id)
NW )
NW and here is my select:
NW $qry=SELECT id, module, week, ;
NW $qry.=DATE_FORMAT(date, \%d %m %Y\) as date, ;
The result of DATE_FORMAT() function is a string. So, in ORDER BY
clause is used string 'date'. That is why you get wrong sorting. Use
another alias for your date column, it should help you, i.e.:
$qry=SELECT id, module, week, ;
$qry.=DATE_FORMAT(date, \%d %m %Y\) as mydate, ;
[skip]
$qry.=ORDER BY date ASC;
NW $qry.=ektione, title, teacher_id ;
NW $qry.=FROM $this-table ;
NW $qry.=WHERE module = '$module' ;
NW $qry.=ORDER BY date ASC;
NW Thanks very much for the help!
