garyed Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I have a table with a bunch of records that each have a unique id number as one of the fields. Since I added things hap-hazardly they are all over the place order wise. Is there a command to update or alter the table where the records could be moved so that they go from lowest to highest using the id number?

fugix Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 you would want to use the ALTER TABLE clause, use as follows. $query = mysql_query("ALTER TABLE table_name ORDER BY id DESC|ASC"); for further syntax examples visit http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/alter-table.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
