MySQL Order By Problem, Why is 1000 being seen as Smaller than 2?
- by Jack
I have a strange problem,
I am trying to order the output of a set of records by a field called displayOrder. Now even though record A has a displayOrder of 2 and record B has a displayOrder of 1000, record B still shows up before record A. Here's my select statement:
SELECT * FROM items ORDER BY displayOrder ASC
It works fine until I have a record greater than 9, then 10, 11, 12, etc are seen as smaller than 2, 3, 4 because they start with the number 1. Any way to fox this?
