Question

I am trying to use ORDER BY to sort a query, but it is claiming there is a syntax error. My query looks like this before trying to sort:

SELECT u.*, s.*
FROM bands u
inner join statuses s on u.status_id = s.id
WHERE u.status_id = 1
LIMIT {$startpoint}, {$limit}

I have tried adding ORDER BY like this but is doesn’t seem to be correct:

SELECT u.*, s.*
FROM bands u
inner join statuses s on u.status_id = s.id
WHERE u.status_id = 1
LIMIT {$startpoint}, {$limit} ORDER BY u.status_id

How can I use ORDER BY properly inside this query?

Answer 1

ORDER BY clause comes before LIMIT

SELECT u.*, s.*
FROM bands u
inner join statuses s on u.status_id = s.id
WHERE u.status_id = 1
ORDER BY u.status_id
LIMIT {$startpoint}, {$limit}
