Implement MySQL ORDER BY without using ASC or DESC?
For this, you can use FIND_IN_SET(). Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable -> ( -> Number int -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (2.25 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(20); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.91 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(60); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.69 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(40); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.72 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(800); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.75 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+--------+ | Number | +--------+ | 20 | | 60 | | 40 | | 800 | +--------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to implement MySQL ORDER BY without using ASC or DESC.
mysql> select *from DemoTable -> order by FIND_IN_SET(Number,'40,20,800,60');
This will produce the following output −
+--------+ | Number | +--------+ | 40 | | 20 | | 800 | | 60 | +--------+ 4 rows in set (0.14 sec)
