gordon.c Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hi, Simply I have been having issues with MySQL algorithms. The problem is when I try to retrieve an ordered list, MySQL does it usually wrong. You can see that on the pic below. You can see the syntax is correct since the phpMyAdmin has processed it, you can see the arrow indicating descending order but the values just dont seem right. Have you got any ideas what might be the cause and how to get rid or it? P.S. I am not trying to fool anyone here. This is unfortunately real situation. No photo montage has been made.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 If you make your column an INT (integer) to match the data in it, it will sort correctly. It's a string/character type now and that is how strings are ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
