Question

I have this query that returns the results by ordering it by focus.name ASC. I would like to expand on this by first ordering it by rand() then ordering it by focus.name and limiting it by 10.

SELECT * FROM vendor_products WHERE 
vendor_products.focus_id IN (SELECT focus.id FROM focus WHERE
focus.name=? AND 
mydelete='0' ORDER BY focus.name ASC) AND product_id=? 
AND mydelete='0' ORDER BY focus_id ASC

Answer 1

do something like this

select t1.* 
from table t1, (select id from table order by rand() limit 10) t2
where t1.id = T2.id
order by t1.name
