Re: Problem with ORDER BY

[Roland Bouman]

Not a transaction post.

Anyway, see the manual for SELECT syntax 13.1.7

If you use GROUP BY, output rows are sorted according to the GROUP BY columns as if you had an ORDER BY for the same columns. MySQL has extended the GROUP BY clause as of version 3.23.34 so that you can also specify ASC and DESC after columns named in the clause:

As you are ordering over computed aggregates, it will prbably not work for you. Try something like this instead:

select *
from (
select c1, agg1,agg2
..
..
group by number ASC
)
order by number, agg1, agg2
