Order by date set with varchar type in MySQL
For this, use ORDER BY STR_TO_DATE in MySQL as in the below syntax −
select *from yourTableName ORDER BY STR_TO_DATE(yourColumnName, '%M %Y') DESC;
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable678(DueDate varchar(200)); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.62 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command. We have inserted dates here −
mysql> insert into DemoTable678 values('March 2019');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable678 values('November 2018');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable678 values('January 2019');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable678;
This will produce the following output −
+---------------+ | DueDate | +---------------+ | March 2019 | | November 2018 | | January 2019 | +---------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to order by date set with varchar type −
mysql> select *from DemoTable678 ORDER BY STR_TO_DATE(DueDate, '%M %Y') DESC;
This will produce the following output −
+---------------+ | DueDate | +---------------+ | March 2019 | | January 2019 | | November 2018 | +---------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
