Help with ORDER BY using two colomns

I think the easiest is to create a new logical column with the correct ordering, something like: SELECT *, IF(update != '', update, date) AS o FROM my_table ORDER BY o DESC; I note that both 'update' and 'date' are reserved works :) Also worth noting that this cannot be assigned an index
