Question

I have two tables: posts and custom_fields.

A post can have multiple custom_fields.

Posts table: id | title
Custom Fields table: id | post_id | custom_key | custom_value

What I want is show all posts, but show first the featured ones which are the ones that have: “custom_key = ‘featured’ AND custom_value=’1′”.

Not every posts have the custom_key=”featured”.

How can I make a mysql query that lists in this way?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Something like that should work:

SELECT * FROM posts LEFT JOIN customfields 
      ON post_id=posts.id AND custom_key='featured' 
ORDER BY custom_value=1 DESC, id DESC;
