Alphanumeric Order by in MySQL for strings mixed with numbers
Let’s say you have a VARCHAR column in a table with values are strings and the numbers are on the right side. For example −
John1023 Carol9871 David9098
Now, consider you want to order by on the basis of these right-side numbers in the entire column. For this, use ORDER BY RIGHT.
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable757 ( Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, ClientId varchar(100) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.53 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable757(ClientId) values('John1023');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.41 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable757(ClientId) values('Carol9871');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable757(ClientId) values('David9098');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable757(ClientId) values('Adam9989');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable757(ClientId) values('Bob9789');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable757;
This will produce the following output -
+----+-----------+ | Id | ClientId | +----+-----------+ | 1 | John1023 | | 2 | Carol9871 | | 3 | David9098 | | 4 | Adam9989 | | 5 | Bob9789 | +----+-----------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query for alphanumeric order by in MySQL −
mysql> select Id,ClientId from DemoTable757 order by right(ClientId,4);
This will produce the following output -
+----+-----------+ | Id | ClientId | +----+-----------+ | 1 | John1023 | | 3 | David9098 | | 5 | Bob9789 | | 2 | Carol9871 | | 4 | Adam9989 | +----+-----------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
