Question

Query:

SELECT u.user_id,r.totalVotes votes,r.totalPoints rating,@row:=@row+1 rank 
FROM mismatch_user u 
LEFT JOIN ratingItems r ON u.user_id=r.uniqueName,
(SELECT @row:=0) pos 
ORDER BY votes DESC,rating DESC

Output:

user_id    votes   rating  rank
2            2      10      2
6            2      9       6
3            2      5       3
1            1      5       1
4            1      5       4
27           1      5       27
9            0      0       9

The ranking miserably not telling me the truth and it’s basing on the user_id. Can anyone help me?

Does this help?

select r.*, @row:=@row+1 rank 
  from 
    (SELECT u.user_id,r.totalVotes votes,r.totalPoints rating
       FROM mismatch_user u 
         LEFT JOIN ratingItems r ON u.user_id=r.uniqueName
    ) r
    join (SELECT @row:=0) pos 
ORDER BY r.votes DESC, r.rating DESC
