ORDER BY? Shouldn't something like:
select substring_index(surname,' ',-1) as r from advisers, select * from
advisers order by r
work?
Thanks for your help,

Andy,
Just:
select substring_index(surname,' ',-1) as r from advisers order by r;
works.

Look at using the Reverse() function, then take the substring up to the
first space, then reverse the result.

I have never done anything like this but after looking at the spec's I have
a possible direction for you
In String functions there is
LOCATE(substr,str,pos)
The first syntax returns the position of the first occurrence of substring
substr in string str. The second syntax returns the position
The following might help, but will certainly be quite slow:
SELECT ... ORDER BY ABS(SUBSTRING(field, 4));
A better (and faster) solution will probably be indexing the records with
a numeric field, as usual.

The following query works with mysql 3.23:

It does not with mysql 3.22.27. Neither does any query with a function call

There are various ways to break up your strings and convert part to a

I'm having trouble with ordering. I've got data in a varchar field that
currently gets ordered like this when I use 'order by myfield asc':

I'd like it to order like this:

How can I do this in MySQL? Is there a way to
