Question

I have select query for the ascending order like…

select DISTINCT
    (m.task_name) as TaskName, 
    m.activity_name as ActivityName,
    m.actual_score,
    m.score,
    m.section_name 
from 
    users u, 
    som_scores m 
where 
    m.ref_student_id = '".$row['userid']."' and 
    m.section_name IN('jws1','jws2','jws3','jws4','sm1','srs1','Pws1','Pws2','lws1','sp1') 
ORDER BY 
    m.section_name ASC

I want to set the Section name in ascending order and also make the task name order by like Task1 Task2 and so on..

Means I want to display data like

1) sections name = jws1 and under the section like task
Task1 Task2 Task3 Task4

2) sections name = jws2 and under the section like task
Task1 Task2 Task3 Task4

And so on..

Answer 1

I found solution like this way “cast( SUBSTRING(TaskName, 5 ) AS unsigned ) ASC“

select DISTINCT
        (m.task_name) as TaskName, 
        m.activity_name as ActivityName,
        m.actual_score,
        m.score,
        m.section_name 
    from 
        users u, 
        som_scores m 
    where 
        m.ref_student_id = '".$row['userid']."' and 
        m.section_name IN('jws1','jws2','jws3','jws4','sm1','srs1','Pws1','Pws2','lws1','sp1') 
    ORDER BY 
        m.section_name ASC,
        cast( SUBSTRING(TaskName, 5 ) AS unsigned ) ASC,
        ActivityName ASC
