MySql Order By multiple columns BUGGY?

21 New Member
Hi there,

Now I've read the ORDER BY section of the mysql documentation, but still have no clue, what strategy I have to follow now.
The problem is that I want to query the DB like:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. SELECT * FROM tr WHERE report_id='a40858a6-d286-9d34-1ada-47e116c72699' ORDER BY pr DESC,loc DESC,DMZ DESC,url ASC,os ASC 
But after the second ORDER BY statement every other ORDER BY statement is being ignored. My primary keys are report_id,keywo rd and url.
The table itself is not immense big (300 records) and my only index is report_id.
Whats the clue? I can load everything in a php array and use array_sort on each column or maybe I can use other mysql tricks but I want to do it right and cant figure out why MySql is bugging us with this...?

Any ideas? Tnx...

MySQL multiple column ORDER BY is not buggy, you might getting it wrong. Can you show some data, the result that mysql is returning and the required output you want?

Hi, I'm looking at storing snippets of details in MySQL about what credit cards a business excepts. Rather than have a whole column for Visa, another for Amex etc ...

Hello, Using PHP 4 and MySQL 4, how would I write a function such that it takes a valid MySQL query, and a column on which to order the query, and return a new query ordered by that column? $query = formNewQuery($query, $orderByCol); An assumption you can make is that the query will never have multiple columns on which to order -- e.g. ("ORDER BY COL_A, COL_B"), however

I have a situation where I have 2 tables - NODES and TAGS. Nodes is the main table and contains various columns one of which is tagID. Tags contains a list of tag names and tagIDs.

Hi. I am trying to select data from two separate MySQL tables, where I cannot use join, but when I put the two select queries into a single query, I get an error telling me to check my syntax. Both of the queries work fine when I use them to query the MySQL server directly. My guess is that the MySQL extension only expects a single resource back from the database, but get's several, or that it just checks the statement first, and decides...

Hi, is it possible that due to OS crash or mysql itself crash or some e.g. SCSI failure to lose all the data stored in the table (let's say million of 1KB rows). In other words what is the worst case scenario for MyISAM backend? Also is it possible to not to lose data but get them corrupted?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
