Order By A-z
This is a follow up to a question I asked two weeks ago which I thought was solved but on further inspection I realised it wasn't working fully. I have an ORDER BY on my search results page, the search uses two dropdown menus, the first one is start character (A-Z), and the other is grade.
The problem I have is that the ORDER BY work perfectly when I leave the start character dropdown blank, and when I use the grade selection dropdown, but when I select a start character I get this error message:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e14'
Characters found after end of SQL statement.
/html/advanced_comic_search.asp, line 56
Can any one shed any light on this for me?
SQL Order
I have records which I want to display a certain way, i.e. the records are in the database like this:
24TR
9L
133JF
But I want to display them as:
9L
133JF
24TR
Is it possible?
SQL Order
I am using an sql inner join like below:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblPage INNER JOIN tblNews ON tblNews.NewsID=tblPage.pageID ORDER BY newsDate DESC"
However this orders both by newsDate which causes problems with the ordering of the page, As I want the page not to be ordered just the news item.
ORDER BY By Id
An ASP page outputs data from the query
"Select ThisAndThat from comments WHERE pageURL='" & pageURL & "' ORDER BY
threadID, datesent"
(Access mdb)
threadID is a string (OK, I know!), which means that 103 displays before 99.
Is there a way to write the SQL query to order them numerically? This would
be much easier for me than changing the data type and hunting down every
page that INSERTS or UPDATES the db.
Going To The Next Order
I am extremely confused about how i should go about doing this:
I have puled out current orders and have displayed in a table .These orders have their own order numbers.
Once the person clicks on first order,the order is displayed in a form,where the user can edit the order details and hit submit.
Now when he hits submit ,I want his to go the previous page where the orders are displayed in table ,so that he can click on the next order and process it/OR may be whent he user hits submit ,i want the next order directly to be displayed in the form.
Not Considering 0 (zero) Using Order By!
I have a table in my database with several numbers.(2, 5, 8, 0, 9, 0).Now i retrieve the numbers to my page using "order by numbers", and my page look like this.
0
0
2
5
8
9
I want the lowest number to be first, but if the number is 0 (zero) I want it to go to the bottom.Can that be done
SQL Order By
At the moment I have:
SQL = "SELECT sample.* FROM sample WHERE (id = " & teamid & ") ORDER by pos"
Which orders my players like:
ATT
DEF
GK
MID
in alphabetical order.
Is there anyway to specify this order so that it still orders the players by "pos"(position) but in this order:
GK
DEF
MID
ATT
Order By NUM
i want to order by NUMBERS:
BUS n 1
bus n 2
ect.
bus n 10 bus n 11
But the order goes like this:
bus n 1
bus n 10
bus n 11
bus n 2
how can i get right order:
bus n 1
bus n 2
bus n 10
bus n 11 ....
Order By Where....
I am performing a basic sql query. select * from tablename order by featured asc, id asc
BUT...I want all those listings with FEATURED as a Y to show up first.
All other listings should show up afterwards.
How do I do this? I may be thinking too hard about it.
SQL Order BY Question
I have one table wich has a unique ID feild for each record and other feilds, and another table that has one field that is a number that contains the an ID from the other table and another field that contains some text.
I want to open with sql the first table, but order its records alphabetically by the text in the second table. is it possible? Code:
Changing Order
I have used ASP for years using MS Access and have used MSSQL quite a lot as
well. I have never came across something like this before.
MSSQL table names and types:
ProductName nvarchar
ShortDescription nText
ThumbNail nvarchar
etc
When I have the recordset in the order as follows, all works well:
(Recordset2.Fields.Item("ProductName").Value)
(Recordset2.Fields.Item("ShortDescription").Value)
(Recordset2.Fields.Item("Thumbnail").Value)
Though if I have the Thumbnail first the description does'nt show.
Returning Order Id
I've got a site with PayPal and Google Checkout payment options. The checkout page formats two HTML forms, containing bespoke cart code - one posts to PayPal, the other to Google Checkout.When an order is placed, it needs to be updated back on my site, so that the order is marked as 'paid' in the database. When this is done with PayPal, I just provide a hidden field in the form called 'invoice' containing my id number for that transaction. This is returned in my IPN, and I update the database accordingly. However, I can't find a similar field in Google. Their example code all seems to be in XML and is WAAAAAAAAY more complicated than I need it to be. I just need to send a value with my cart code to Google Checkout, and have that value returned after the transaction has completed.
I've set up Google Callback, and the page is being called and the order is being written to my google log txt file, I just need this to contain my order id number for the transaction so I can just add the logic to update the database based on this id number.
SQL Order By Statement
Does anyone know how to organise data in alphabetical order when using a select statement???
When i use mine, i have been using ASC and it justs put the newest record added!
Processing Out Of Order
I've written the following piece of code which is embedded in HTML. For some reason when the script is processed the last response.write statment is displayed before the information in the while loop. I can't seem to figure out why this is happenming.
Any ideas? Code:
Alphabetical Order
I'm working on a list of members.In my db I have two columns lastName and marriedName
lastName is the member name before they got married and legLastName is their lastname after they got married.
Now I need to display theese two columns in alphabetical order in one list.
If I for example have theese members:
lastName, marriedName
Anderson, Johnson
Petersson, Svensson
Nilsson, Persson
Lindgren, Johnson
I want this result:
Anderson
Johnson (look for Andersson)
Johnson(look for Lindgren)
Nilsson
Persson(look for Nilsson)
Petersson
Svensson(look for Petersson)
FOR/NEXT Loop In ORDER?
I am processing the variables from a form submission with a for/next loop. The problem is that the order of the variables are NOT written IN ORDER.
Form field 1 prints fine but then it jumps to Form field 9 and then back to Form field 4 then to Form field 2, etc. IS there a way to process the form variables in a loop in ORDER? field 1, field 2, field 3, etc? Code:
Sort Order?
I have a form that is created dynamically, and all is working fine. But I want users to add an sort order to help list phrases in a certain order.
<input type="text" name="AdvantSort" value="" size=1>
<input type="checkbox" name="Advantages" value="10">
Phrase1
<input type="text" name="AdvantSort" value="" size=1>
<input type="checkbox" name="Advantages" value="20">
Phrase2
so on, so forth...
And one clicks on the form, and a SQL statement is executed.
However, when I create the SQL statement,
INSERT INTO table1
(FormId,AdvantageId,SortOrder)
VALUES (<call from form ID>,<advantages>,<advantsort>)
Then it loops to allow the next phrase to be entered. The statement also takes the value from every other sort order value including that ones that are in different lines. Which in result, gives me an error, saying the insert columns exceed that of the available columns in the table.

ORDER BY A Column?
If I have several fields:
a | b | c | d | e
and the original SQL = SQL & " ORDER BY a ASC ".
I want to place links to b, c, d, e to make the table of results to show by ascending order of b (or , c, d, e).
do I need to place an "if/ end if" in the sql or do I put some statement in the paging?
example
a (ORDER BY a ASC)| b | c | d | e
1 | 3 | z
2 | 2 | y
3 | 1 | x
4 | 5 | w
5 | 4 | v
to
a | b (ORDER BY b ASC)| c | d | e
3 | 1 | x
2 | 2 | y
1 | 3 | z
5 | 4 | v
4 | 5 | w

ORDER BY Category
I have an .asp page where I ORDER BY catagory. The catagory column has only three possible values; ICO, Negotiator, Product. I built the page using ORDER BY catagory.

View Replies View RelatedOrder By Number
Everytime I try to pull a query and order it by the price of something, 1123 comes before 300.
It just makes no sense, all that I can think of is that it is ordering by the first digit of the number. Is there anyway to sort it the right way having 300 come before 1123 when you want to sort it in lowest to highest numbers? Code:
<%
Set rsTest = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") rsTest.Open " Select * from special WHERE CURDATE() <= dat AND line='me' ORDER BY price asc limit 0,1",conn
if NOT rsTest.EOF then
do while NOT rsTest.EOF
%>
