Implement ORDER BY in MySQL to order records in human readable format?
For this, use INET_ATON() in MySQL. Let’s say our records are in the form of an IP Address. The INET_ATON() method would allow a user to convert IP Address records to the number and then we can use ORDER BY to order them.
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable -> ( -> IpAddress varchar(50) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.36 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('192.168.110.78');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('192.168.110.87');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.27 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('192.168.110.75');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.26 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+----------------+ | IpAdress | +----------------+ | 192.168.110.78 | | 192.168.110.87 | | 192.168.110.75 | +----------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to order by IP Address records −
mysql> select *from DemoTable -> order by inet_aton(IpAddress);
This will produce the following output −
+----------------+ | IpAddress | +----------------+ | 192.168.110.75 | | 192.168.110.78 | | 192.168.110.87 | +----------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
