Problem with Query

[miligraf]

I got a TMS, if you go here [a href=\"http://www.miligraf.com/tutoriales/?pag=populares\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.miligraf.com/tutoriales/?pag=populares[/a] the tuts are suppouse to be ordered descending, from the most clicked to the least clicked, but as you can see i get the most clicked at the bottom and then it starts off at the top.

heres the code for that one:

[code]<? include ('connection.php'); ?>
<?php

if(!isset($_GET['page'])){    
$page = 1;
}else{
$page = $_GET['page'];
}
$max_results = 6;                                        
$from = (($page * $max_results) - $max_results);

        $query = "SELECT * FROM tutoriales ORDER BY clics DESC LIMIT $from, $max_results";
        $result = mysql_query($query)
        or die("Error in query: $query . " . mysql_error());

        if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)
        {
            while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
            {
                $id = $row[0];
                $titulo = $row[1];
                $imagen = $row[2];
                   $clics = $row[3];
                $descripcion = $row[4];
                   $enlace = $row[5];
                $autor = $row[6];
                $fecha = $row[7];
            ?>
        <table width="100%" style='border-bottom: 1px dashed silver' cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
                <tr>
                    <td width="20%" rowspan="3" align="center" valign="middle"><a href="tutorial.php?id=<?php echo $id; ?>" target="_blank"><img src="<?php echo $imagen; ?>" alt="<?php echo $titulo; ?>" border="0"></a></td>
                  <td width="80%" height="24"><a href="tutorial.php?id=<?php echo $id; ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo "<span class='style20 Estilo1'> $titulo </span>"; ?></a></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                  <td><?php echo "<span class='style20 Estilo3'> $descripcion </span>"; ?></td>
              </tr>
                <tr>
                  <td height="24"><span class='style20 Estilo3'>Agregado el</span> <?php echo "<span class='style20 Estilo3'> $fecha </span>"; ?> <span class='style20 Estilo3'>por</span> <?php echo "<span class='style20 Estilo1'> $autor </span>"; ?> <span class='style20 Estilo3'>| Total de clics </span><?php echo "<span class='style20 Estilo1'> $clics </span>"; ?></td>
          </tr>
</table>
            <?php
            }
        }
        ?>
        <?php
            echo '<br><center>';

$total_results = mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as Num FROM tutoriales"),0);

$total_pages = ceil($total_results/$max_results);
for($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++){
if(($page) == $i){
echo "<span class='style20 Estilo3'>$i</span>";
}else{                  
echo "<span class='style20 Estilo3'><a href='?page=$i'>$i</a></span>";  
} }
?>
<?php mysql_close($connection);?>[/code]

okay just out of curiosity, what datatype is your clics column?

i just clicked one of them a bunch of times (sorry) and when it passed 100 it now appears at the bottom too.

[ryanlwh]

most likely the "clics" column is a varchar, making it sort like strings, i.e., "100" sorts BEFORE (or after for desc) "2" because it starts with "1". you should change it to an INT data type, or dynamically convert clics to an int by adding "+0" after clics.
