Question

I have a table (or rather a long join) with fields (id, name, prio) where I group over id

SELECT id, group_concat(name)
FROM my_table
GROUP BY id

Now I’d also like to have a column with the name of the lowest prio score. Like

SELECT id, group_concat(name), min(prio)
FROM my_table
GROUP BY id

but instead of having the minimum value of prio I’d like to see the corresponding ‘name’

Any idea?

I think you can make this a sub-query and then join it to the table something like:

SELECT * FROM (
    SELECT id, group_concat(name), min(prio) AS lowest
        FROM my_table
    GROUP BY id ) foo
JOIN my_table mt ON foo.lowest = mt.prio AND foo.id=mt.id;
