Question

I display data from a query on my database in a ListView. My question is: Can I order my data from the query, then store this ordered data in my cursor object? Or do I have to order the ListView?

i.e can I order the data by name in the following query?

Cursor c = ourDatabase.query(DATABASE_TABLE, columns, KEY_ROWID + "=" + passId, null, null, null, null);

Answer 1

Last parameter in your query represents order by

Example:

Cursor c = ourDatabase.query(DATABASE_TABLE, columns, KEY_ROWID + "=" + passId, null, null, null, coulmnName+" DESC");
