I am trying to find a way to pull 10 random records and then order those 10 records by a field. I have tried the following:
SELECT name FROM users ORDER BY RAND(), name LIMIT 10
but it does not order by name with 10 rows returned, just return 10 random record in any order. Is there a way to order by rand() and a field within a query with MySQL?
Ended up just doing the sort in php.
