I'm loading a .csv file into MySQL, done it a million times but for some

Any thoughts...
where do you take a row-order from? and HOW are you uploading it into mysql?
if you don't use a order by-clause in a select you won't have a really
ordered result (only by accident).
LOAD DATA INFILE 'file.cvs' INTO TABLE table1 FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';';
the contnts of file .csv look like:
1;2002-02-01;New Dominion Pictures;Prosecutors - The Gosch Murder
Case;Beau Parcells;Dave Stevenson (victim's husband), Lead;yes;yes;yes
2;2002-02-01;Coastal;Prospecting;Zoe Whitaker;Corporate

You'd think they would load into the db just like that right? But they
do not. They just end up in some random order.
this doesn't have anything to do with php afaik.
as I said, try:
select * from table1 order by field1 ASC
replace the field1 with the field you have the number in (the first field in your
csv).
