Howdy, I'm trying to get a result from my database in the proper order. CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `clc_crz_regions` ( `region_id` tinyint(2) NOT NULL, `parent_id` tinyint(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', `regAbbreviation` varchar(4) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `reg_name` varchar(40) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', ) INSERT INTO `clc_crz_regions` (`region_id`, `parent_id`, `regAbbreviation`, `reg_name`) VALUES (4, 0, 'soam', 'South America'), (1, 0, 'cari', 'Caribbean'), (20, 1, 'eaca', 'Eastern Caribbean'), (44, 1, 'soca', 'Southern Caribbean'), (21, 1, 'weca', 'Western Caribbean'), (41, 4, 'amri', 'Amazon River'); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `clc_crz_region_groups` ( `parent_id` tinyint(2) NOT NULL, `child_id` tinyint(2)NOT NULL ) INSERT INTO `clc_crz_region_groups` (`parent_id`, `child_id`) VALUES (1, 1), (1, 20), (1, 21), (1, 44), (2, 2), (3, 3), (3, 40), (3, 57), (4, 4), I'd like it to sort by 'reg_name' for the parents, with the children under the parents also sorted by name. Caribbean Eastern Caribbean Southern Caribbean Western Caribbean South America Amazon River Cape Horn I can get the results, just can't get them to order the way I want to. SELECT r1.region_id, r1.reg_name, r1.reg_entry_name, r1.parent_id FROM $wpdb->crz_regions r1 JOIN $wpdb->crz_region_groups r2 ON r1.region_id = r2.child_id I just can't get it sorted correctly. I'd like to do it in SQL if possible. Thank you
