sql-order-by

I'm stuck on a simple task. I just need to order results coming from this call $results = Project::all(); Where Project is a model. I've tried this $results = Project::all()->orderBy("name"); But it didn't work. Which is the better way to obtain all data from a table and get them ordered? You can actually do this within the query. $results = Project::orderBy('name')->get(); This will return all results with the proper order. You could still use sortBy (at the collection level) instead of orderBy (at the query level) if you still want to use all() since it returns a collection of objects.

I am building a notes system on my site and I've got to the stage where users can post notes into the MySQL database using PHP and then PHP prints them out on a page. However, when they print/echo out, the oldest one appears first but I want the most recent first. I also want them to be limited to 10, so only 10 appear on the page. Here is my PHP code, your help will be much appreciated: // initialize some variables $notedisplaylist = ""; $myObject = ""; $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM notes WHERE note_author_id='$u_id' ORDER BY date_time"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ $note

Any idea why the LINQ OrderBy is not working in following code, (have no errors but method does not sort ...) First my own type public class IQLinksView { public int id { get; set; } public int catid { get; set; } public int? viewed {get;set;} public string name {get;set;} public string desc {get;set;} public string url {get;set;} public string pic {get;set;} public string cat {get;set;} } then query : IQueryable<IQLinksView> newView = from links in this.emContext.tbl_otherlinks select new IQLinksView { id = links.pklinkid, catid = links.tbl_catgeory.pkcategoryid, viewed = links.linkviewed,

I have a SQL table that stores a custom item number. Each of these can have a child broken off from it with a separator of . . Each of those can have a child too. An example of what it could be (again, dynamic, don't know what it will be): Item Number 1 1.1 1.1.1 1.1.1.1 1.1.1.1.a 1.1.1.1.b 10 11 2.1 2.10 2.2 2.20 20 3 30 The thing that makes this tough is those numbers are created on the fly and not necessarily in order. You may create 5 numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and then create a child of 1 so it will not be stored in order in the db. How do I select from the table and order by the Item Number

This question already has an answer here: Can I parameterize the table name in a prepared statement? 2 answers In my mind I have a query that goes something like this: $sort = isset($sort) ? sanitize($_sort) : 'id'; if ($result = $link->prepare(" SELECT id, price FROM items ORDER BY ? ")) { $result->bind_param("s", $sort); $result->execute(); etc... } When I run this code block without setting the sort variable it runs without an error relating to the use of the ? in the ORDER BY clause and a result set is displayed in what appears to be a result set with "ORDER BY id". If I set the sort

I am currently reading Pro LINQ c# 2008, and in page 87 the guy says OrderBy and OrderByDescending are stable. But he says exactly the opposite in page 96. It looks to me as he is referring to exactly the same functions, so I don't get it. Are they stable or not? Yes, they're definitely stable. I picked up the same error in my review of the book. Joe responded to that bit of my review with this: Just for your reader's knowledge, the ordering is now specified to be stable. Initially it was unstable, and was later changed to be stable but I was told it would be specified to be unstable, but
