MySQL order from a different starting value?
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable
(
ClientId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
ClientName varchar(30)
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.74 sec)
Insert records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable(ClientName) values('John');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(ClientName) values('Chris');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(ClientName) values('Robert');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(ClientName) values('David');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(ClientName) values('Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(ClientName) values('Carol');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(ClientName) values('Sam');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(ClientName) values('Mike');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+----------+------------+
| ClientId | ClientName |
+----------+------------+
| 1 | John |
| 2 | Chris |
| 3 | Robert |
| 4 | David |
| 5 | Bob |
| 6 | Carol |
| 7 | Sam |
| 8 | Mike |
+----------+------------+
8 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query of MySQL Order from a starting value −
mysql> select *from DemoTable order by ClientId < 5,ClientId;
This will produce the following output −
+----------+------------+
| ClientId | ClientName |
+----------+------------+
| 5 | Bob |
| 6 | Carol |
| 7 | Sam |
| 8 | Mike |
| 1 | John |
| 2 | Chris |
| 3 | Robert |
| 4 | David |
+----------+------------+
8 rows in set (0.00 sec)
