Question

i have two tables one is called addons and holds information about different addons, there are a lot of columns but here are the main

addon_id  |  addon_name      |  addon_size

1         |  loft conversion |  small
2         |  extension       |  large

And i have another one called addons_count

addon_id  |  addon_count

1         |  5
2         |  6

Which holds the number of addons used in the system

The problem is that i have a query already that just outputs the addons through a while loop

SELECT * FROM `addons` WHERE addon_size='small' LIMIT {$startpoint_small} , {$limit}

However i am trying to make it sort the different addons based on the addon_count, however because they are from 2 different tables how would i do this, such as through an orderby?

Thanks for ay and all help

Answer 1

SELECT * FROM 
   addons a , addons_count c 
WHERE
   c.addon_id = a.addon_id
AND
   a.addon_size = 'small'
ORDER BY
   c.addon_count
LIMIT 
   {$startpoint_small} , {$limit}
