Wuhtzu Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Hey guysI have this pretty ugly MySQL query:[code]SELECT name,id,date,string_length,firstmatch_key,firstmatch_string,secondmatch_key,secondmatch_string,MIN(diff) FROM gorandom_log WHERE string_length=".$string_length." GROUP BY name ORDER BY diff ASC LIMIT 10[/code]The purpose of the query is to select the smallest "diff" for each "name" and them sort them by the diff ascading. My problem is that does not order them by diff...What is wrong with my query and how to correct it?Best regardsWuhtzu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artacus Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Try including the diff field in your results or alias "MIN(diff) AS diff"If that doesn't work, just use a subquery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
