How to sort time in AM/ PM in MySQL?
To sort time in AM/PM in MySQL, you can use ORDER BY STR_TO_DATE().
Following is the syntax −
select yourColumnName from yourTableName ORDER BY STR_TO_DATE(yourColumnName , '%l:%i %p');
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, UserLogoutTime varchar(200) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.97 sec)
Insert records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable(UserLogoutTime) values('09:45 PM');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(UserLogoutTime) values('11:56 AM');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(UserLogoutTime) values('01:01 AM');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(UserLogoutTime) values('02:01 PM');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(UserLogoutTime) values('04:10 PM');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)Display records from the table using select command −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+----+----------------+ | Id | UserLogoutTime | +----+----------------+ | 1 | 09:45 PM | | 2 | 11:56 AM | | 3 | 01:01 AM | | 4 | 02:01 PM | | 5 | 04:10 PM | +----+----------------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to sort time In AM/ PM in MySQL −
mysql> select UserLogoutTime from DemoTable ORDER BY STR_TO_DATE(UserLogoutTime, '%l:%i %p');
This will produce the following output −
+----------------+ | UserLogoutTime | +----------------+ | 01:01 AM | | 11:56 AM | | 02:01 PM | | 04:10 PM | | 09:45 PM | +----------------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
