MySql Logical Order By

Question

I currently have query like this:

SELECT \'id\', \'clanid\', \'name\',
       \'level\', \'exp\', \'warwinpercent\',
       \'warswon\', \'warslost\', \'wars         


        

Answer 1

I suggest using ordering like in How Not To Sort By Average Rating

PROBLEM:

You need some sort of "score" to sort by.

WRONG SOLUTION #1: Score = (Positive ratings) - (Negative ratings)

WRONG SOLUTION #2: Score = Average rating = (Positive ratings) / (Total ratings)

CORRECT SOLUTION: Score = Lower bound of Wilson score confidence interval for a Bernoulli parameter

Demo:

CREATE TABLE clans(id INT, name VARCHAR(100), warswon INT, warslost INT);

INSERT INTO clans VALUES (1, 'aaa',  208, 6), (2, 'bbb', 103, 0);

SELECT id, name,warswon, warslost,((warswon + 1.9208) / (warswon + warslost) - 
                 1.96 * SQRT((warswon * warslost) / (warswon + warslost) + 0.9604) / 
                          (warswon + warslost)) / (1 + 3.8416 / (warswon + warslost)) 
       AS ci_lower_bound 
FROM clans 
ORDER BY ci_lower_bound DESC;

Output:

╔═════╦═══════╦══════════╦═══════════╦════════════════════╗
║ id  ║ name  ║ warswon  ║ warslost  ║   ci_lower_bound   ║
