Sort in a string mixed with numbers in MySQL?
Use ORDER BY with some cases. Let us create a table −
mysql> create table demo18 −> ( −> value text −> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.18 sec)
Insert some records into the table with the help of insert command −
mysql> insert into demo18 values('John Smith');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.06 sec)
mysql> insert into demo18 values('2J John has 58');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into demo18 values('2J John has 9');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)Display records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from demo18;
This will produce the following output −
+----------------+ | value | +----------------+ | John Smith | | 2J John has 58 | | 2J John has 9 | +----------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to sort −
mysql> select *from demo18 −> order by regexp_replace(value, '[0&minus9]*$', ''), −> length(value), −> value;
This will produce the following output −
+----------------+ | value | +----------------+ | 2J John has 9 | | 2J John has 58 | | John Smith | +----------------+ 3 rows in set (0.14 sec)
