Order By Length of Column in MySQL
To order by length of column in MySQL, use ORDER BY LENGTH.
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable715 (UserMessage varchar(100)); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.56 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable715 values('Aw');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.49 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable715 values('Awe');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable715 values('A');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable715 values('Awes');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable715 values('Awesom');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable715 values('Awesome');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable715;
This will produce the following output -
+-------------+ | UserMessage | +-------------+ | Aw | | Awe | | A | | Awes | | Awesom | | Awesome | +-------------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to order by length of column −
mysql> select *from DemoTable715 order by length(UserMessage);
This will produce the following output -
+-------------+ | UserMessage | +-------------+ | A | | Aw | | Awe | | Awes | | Awesom | | Awesome | +-------------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
