ORDER BY a specific word in MySQL
For this, use ORDER BY INSTR(). Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable822(Word text); Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.11 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable822 values('Forever');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.26 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable822 values('ever');
Query OK, 1 row affected (1.31 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable822 values('every');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.25 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable822 values('everyday');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.58 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable822;
This will produce the following output −
+----------+ | Word | +----------+ | Forever | | ever | | every | | everyday | +----------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to order by a specific word in the beginning or inside a string −
mysql> select *from DemoTable822 where Word LIKE '%ever%' order by INSTR(Word, 'ever'), Word;
This will produce the following output −
+----------+ | Word | +----------+ | ever | | every | | everyday | | Forever | +----------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
