Sorting Movies By 2 Things

Question

Hay everyone need abit of help i a noob when it come to php :(

In my database i have a table called movies and i have 12 columns in there but i used 2 collumns for sorti

Answer 1

Just seperate the order columns by a comma.

$order = "ORDER BY imdb_rating, year DESC";

You should definitely consider to use another MySQL extension as well, mysql_* is deprecated, use mysqli_* or PDO. I prefer PDO.

Answer 2

Just separate the columns with commas:

elseif($sortby == 'imdb_rating and year')
{
    $order = 'ORDER BY `imbd_rating`, `year` DESC';
}

Alternatively, if you'd like to order them differently (for example by year and then rating), use:

ORDER BY `year` DESC, `imdb_rating` ASC

It's also worth noting that the mysql_* set of function is now deprecated. It'd be better to use MySQLi or PDO.

Answer 3

You have to change the syntax slightly.

"ORDER BY imdb_rating DESC, year DESC";

Answer 4

Replace and with a simple comma:

ORDER BY imdb_rating DESC, year DESC
