MySQL Order by beginning letter?
To order by the first letter, use ORDER BY CASE statement. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1535 -> ( -> Value varchar(100) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (2.26 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1535 values('MySQL is good relational database.');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1535 values('is MySQL easy to lean');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.35 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1535 values('You need to start basic SQL');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.35 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1535;
This will produce the following output −
+------------------------------------+ | Value | +------------------------------------+ | MySQL is good relational database. | | is MySQL easy to lean | | You need to start basic SQL | +------------------------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to order by the first letter −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1535 -> order by case when left(Value, 1) = 'i' then 1 else 2 end,Value;
This will produce the following output −
+------------------------------------+ | Value | +------------------------------------+ | is MySQL easy to lean | | MySQL is good relational database. | | You need to start basic SQL | +------------------------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
