For clarification, are you able to use MySQL this way to sort?

ORDER BY Comp开发者_Python百科anyID = XXX DESC

What I am trying to do is use one sql query to sort everything where X = Y, in this case, where CompanyID = XXX. All values where CompanyID is not XXX should come after all the results where CompanyID = XXX.

I don't want to limit my query but I do want to sort a particular company above other listings.


ORDER BY FIELD(CompanyID, 'google', 'apple', 'microsoft') ASC

Google = first
Microsoft = third
The rest = last


You can use a case in an order by, like:

order by case when CompanyID = XXX then 1 else 2 end


Your query is fine. CompanyID = xxx yields 1 on a match, and 0 otherwise. Just add the CompanyID column as the secondary order column.

ORDER BY CompanyID = XXX DESC, CompanyID ASC

This way, you get records where the CompanyID matches your constant first, then the rest are in order.

Alternatively, you could do this:

ORDER BY CompanyID <> XXX ASC, CompanyID ASC


You might want to try using a CASE statement in your order by expression. When the company id matches your preferred company, return 0, else return 1. Then order by company name like usual in a secondary order by column.

 order by case when CompanyID = XXX then 0 else 1 end, CompanyName

That way you have your preferred company at the top, then all of the rest order alphabetically by name (or however you want it ordered).


You could probably fake it out

SELECT CompanyID, IF(CompanyID = XXX, -1, CompanyID) AS sortby
FROM companies
ORDER BY sortby DESC
0
