Sort a list in MySQL and display a fixed result at the end of the column?
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable( FirstName varchar(100) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.97 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Chris'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.31 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Adam'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.35 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('John'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Sam'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.37 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Mike'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.27 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('David'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.27 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------+ | FirstName | +-----------+ | Chris | | Adam | | John | | Sam | | Mike | | David | +-----------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to sort the list and set a fixed result at the end. We have set the name “Mike” at the end −
mysql> select *from DemoTable order by FirstName='Mike',FirstName;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------+ | FirstName | +-----------+ | Adam | | Chris | | David | | John | | Sam | | Mike | +-----------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
