Question

I have an issue to sort a SQL results and really would appreciate your help.
So here is the situation:

• Table1 holds city names and city IDs.
• Table2 holds some events and the ID of the city where the event is going to happen.

The query should retrieve all the future events, sorted alphabetically by city.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

try

SELECT T1.CityName, T2.EventStart, T2.EventDescription FROM Table1 T1, Table2 T2 WHERE 
T1.CityID = T2.CityID AND T2.EventStart > NOW()
ORDER BY T1.CityName ASC, T2.EventStart ASC

EDIT – As per comment

SELECT 
T1.CityName, 
T2.EventStart, 
T2.EventDescription 
FROM Table1 T1
INNER JOIN Table2 T2 ON T1.CityID = T2.CityID 
WHERE T2.EventStart > NOW()
ORDER BY T1.CityName ASC, T2.EventStart ASC
