newbe ORDER BY question

I have a database with `session` and `age` values for every record. I
want to sort all of the records by `session` and then sort that result
by `age.` Using ORDER BY `session`,`age` gives a result ordered by
`age.`

Is there a way to do what I want in a single SQL request?

By backup option is to GROUP BY `session` and then walk back through
the database with each type of `session` and ORDER BY age.

TIA

Now, I would like to use a function in my php code, as otherwise I have to type the same thing over and over again. With a function, I mean something along of the lines of: function x($string) { return...

Hello, I'm trying to understand how a aspx form gets submitted to the server when there is no action attribute. I am under the impression you would need some kind of html valid button attribute in order to get the form to post.Since Asp.net is browser independent ,how does the form know( within the confines of the xhtml or html specs)that it is supposed to go anywhere.(Even to itself) No "action" and no "value= Submit" attributes? ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
