Ordering alphabetically in MySQL except for one entry?
You can use ORDER BY clause for this. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( FirstName varchar(200) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.93 sec)
Insert records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Larry'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Carol'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Sam'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.29 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Mike'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('David'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
Display records from the table using select command −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------+ | FirstName | +-----------+ | Larry | | Carol | | Sam | | Mike | | David | +-----------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query for ordering alphabetically except for one entry. The “FirstName” MIKE isn’t ordered −
mysql> select *from DemoTable order by FirstName="Mike",FirstName;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------+ | FirstName | +-----------+ | Carol | | David | | Larry | | Sam | | Mike | +-----------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
