Sorting by date & time in descending order?

Question

all I want to display last 5 entered data for specific id. My sql query is,

SELECT id, name, form_id, DATE(updated_at) as date
  FROM wp_frm_items
          


        

Answer 1

SELECT * FROM (
               SELECT id, name, form_id, DATE(updated_at) as date
               FROM wp_frm_items
               WHERE user_id = 11 && form_id=9
               ORDER BY updated_at DESC
             ) AS TEMP
    ORDER BY DATE(updated_at) DESC, name DESC

Give it a try.

Answer 2

putting the UNIX_TIMESTAMP will do the trick.

SELECT id, NAME, form_id, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(updated_at) AS DATE
    FROM wp_frm_items
    WHERE user_id = 11 && form_id=9
    ORDER BY DATE DESC

Answer 3

If you want the last 5 rows, ordered in ascending order, you need a subquery:

SELECT *
FROM
    ( SELECT id, name, form_id, DATE(updated_at) AS updated_date, updated_at
      FROM wp_frm_items
      WHERE user_id = 11 
        AND form_id=9
      ORDER BY updated_at DESC
      LIMIT 5
    ) AS tmp
ORDER BY updated_at

After reading the question for 10th time, this may be (just maybe) what you want. Order by Date descending and then order by time (on same date) ascending:

SELECT id, name, form_id, DATE(updated_at) AS updated_date
FROM wp_frm_items
WHERE user_id = 11 
  AND form_id=9
ORDER BY DATE(updated_at) DESC
       , updated_at ASC

Answer 4

If you mean you want to sort by date first then by names

SELECT id, name, form_id, DATE(updated_at) as date
  FROM wp_frm_items
  WHERE user_id = 11 && form_id=9
  ORDER BY updated_at DESC,name ASC

This will sort the records by date first, then by names

Answer 5

I used a simpler solution found partly here:
How to sort details with Date and time in sql server ?
I used this query to get my results:

SELECT TOP (5) * FROM My_Table_Name WHERE id=WhateverValueINeed ORDER BY DateTimeColumnName DESC

This is more straight forward and worked for me.

Notice: the column of the Date has the "datetime" type

Answer 6

This is one of the simplest ways to sort record by Date:

SELECT  `Article_Id` ,  `Title` ,  `Source_Link` ,  `Content` ,  `Source` , `Reg_Date`, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(  `Reg_Date` ) AS DATE
FROM article
ORDER BY DATE DESC
