Canman2005 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hi all I have a simple table which looks like ID USER PRICE 1 10 12.00 2 21 5.00 3 21 10.00 What I want to do is run a query and return all results with the `USER` with the highest value at the top. So with my example above, `USER` ID 10 has a total of 12.00 (ROW 1) and `USER` has a total of 15.00 (5.00 + 10.00) (ROW 2 and 3) So it would therefore return USER TOTAL 21 15.00 10 12.00 Can anyone help? Much love Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/131357-solved-ordering-by-highest-value/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maq Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Am I seeing things? I know it doesn't say *edit* but did you switch your SELECT & GROUP BY statements from id to user? I was just about to post it and I swear it just changed... ???
