I'm trying to display items from my database, here's an example
user | 123 | abc
Jack | 0 | b
John | 0 | c
Doe | 1 | a
and how I want it displayed on site is something like this
user | 123 | abc
Doe | 1 | a
Jack | 0 | b
John | 0 | c
I want it orderying by abc(abc=1) AND 123 (cat then dog then chicken)
Tips:
abc being either 0 or 1
123 being multiple things like: chicken, dog, cat etc..
The field isn't named 123 it's just an example and this is the query i'm using right now: SELECT * FROM users order by paid=1, animal='cat', animal='dog' It's bringing paid users up first but isn't ordering by animal

Answer 1

drop table users;
create table users (name varchar(5),animal varchar(10),paid int);
insert into users values
('abc','dog',1),
('def','dog',0),
('ghi','chicken',0),
('jkl','cat',0);
select * from users
order by paid desc,
case
when animal = 'cat' then 1
when animal = 'dog' then 2
when animal = 'chicken' then 3
end
result
+------+---------+------+
| name | animal | paid |
+------+---------+------+
| abc | dog | 1 |
| jkl | cat | 0 |
| def | dog | 0 |
| ghi | chicken | 0 |
+------+---------+------+

Answer 2

This is explained in the documentation:
SELECT * FROM t1
ORDER BY key_part1,key_part2,... ;
For more complex ordering, see here:

Answer 3

This should work :
ORDER BY abc, 123
You don't need to write ASC in your case since ASC is the default value.

Answer 4

You need to use ~ORDER BY 123 DESC and abc ASC`
replace test with your table name.
select t.user,t.123,t.abc from test t order by t.123 DESC,t.abc ASC

Output
user 123 abc
Doe 1 a
Jack 0 b
John 0 c

Answer 5

select a.user,a.123,a.abc from test a order by a.123 DESC,a.abc ASC
