Select from db Order by name (but with one exception)


deansatch

Recommended Posts

I have my db and fetch theresults in alphabetical order using "select * from table order by name" but I need on of the entries to be next to another as a one-off exception.

e.g

 

Alfred

Bob

Malcolm  <---the odd one

Edward

Frank

George

Larry

Kyle

Morris

Norris

 

Is there any way of doing this without creating an 'order' column and assigning numbers to every entry?
