Question

I would like to perform an SQLite query and order my results with numbers last.

Eg:

SQLite will ordinarily order results like this when I specify ASC on a text field:

0,
1,
2,
A,
B,
C

Whereas I would like this:

A,
B,
C,
0,
1,
2

Any ideas? Is this possible?

Thanks!

Nick.

Answer 1

I know nothing about sqllite, but something like this should work (assuming, of course, that there is some sort of isnumeric function available):-

order by isnumeric(colA), colA

so that your non-numerics appear first.
