Gwaihirjp Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi, I have a table in the database full of information of cars, and when I extract the info via PHP I want it ordered by company name but not exactly in alphebetical order. I need the company "TOYOTA" to be on top, and then all the other companies (Nissan, Honda, Chevrolet, etc) to come after it in alphabetical order. Only "TOYOTA" has to be prioritized and at the top. I know, it's a strange way to order soemthing, but is it possible? I looked up on how to use "order by field", but I'm not sure if that's the way to accomplish it. Is there an easier way to do it?

fenway Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Easier to make 2 separate requests, and store them in different variables Not at all.
