How to put row on top in mysql query.

Question

Hi i have 100 records in my SQL table i want to sort them ASC by name but i need one record on top of all record nr 43.

Is there way i can pull this record 43 first and

Answer 1

This query should add a column called priority, which has the value 1 on the record with id 43 and 0 on all others. Then you sort by priority first.

SELECT mytable.*, IF(id = 43, 1, 0) AS priority FROM mytable ORDER BY priority DESC, name ASC
