Sort a MySQL table column value by part of its value?
You can use ORDER BY RIGHT() for this. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( UserId varchar(100) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.33 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('User1234');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('User9874');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.06 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('User9994');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.04 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('User1211');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('User1012');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.79 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output -
+----------+ | UserId | +----------+ | User1234 | | User9874 | | User9994 | | User1211 | | User1012 | +----------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Case 1 − If you want the result in ascending order.
Following is the query to sort a MySQL table column value by part of its value.
mysql> select *from DemoTable ORDER BY RIGHT(UserId, 4);
This will produce the following output −
+----------+ | UserId | +----------+ | User1012 | | User1211 | | User1234 | | User9874 | | User9994 | +----------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Case 2 − If you want the result in descending order.
Following is the query to sort a MySQL table column value by part of its value -
mysql> select *from DemoTable ORDER BY RIGHT(UserId, 4) DESC;
This will produce the following output −
+----------+ | UserId | +----------+ | User9994 | | User9874 | | User1234 | | User1211 | | User1012 | +----------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
