DJ Unique Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Hi, I have an SQL Query that doesn't seen to work in PHP: select * from new_handset_network_variant where New_Handset_Network_Variant_Progress != 'Complete' and New_Handset_Network_Variant_Progress != 'Cancelled' order by case New_Handset_Network_Variant_Priority when 'High' then 1 when 'Normal' then 2 when 'Low' then 3 end I want to basically show the results of the new_handset_network_variant with the items marked high priority first, then Normal, with Low priority last. Can anyone help me to write a correct SQL query for this because the above doesn't seem to work. Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/96899-how-do-i-sort-by-my-own-order/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 If you post the error message to give someone all the information about your problem it would help. I am not sure why there is a mysql error with that, but the following should work - FIELD(New_Handset_Network_Variant_Priority,'High','Normal','Low') Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/96899-how-do-i-sort-by-my-own-order/#findComment-495840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Unique Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 Hi, the MySQL query above works fine in SQL yog and PHP Admin, but when I use it in my PHP file I get the following error: Illegal mix of collations for operation 'case' Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /web/stock/webmaster/ticket_overview2.php on line 19 I changed it to use the what you just suggested and I still get an error: Illegal mix of collations for operation 'field' Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /web/stock/webmaster/ticket_overview2.php on line 19 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/96899-how-do-i-sort-by-my-own-order/#findComment-495847 Share on other sites More sharing options...
