hi, ok, today i was working on a script using php and mysql, i wanted to query my database and i wanted the order to be listed in a random format. so this is what i did, in this query i will show you.

$Query = "SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE id=23 ORDER BY RAND()";

as you can see, the query will be sorted randomly

Hello Mel, Hard to tell if you're asking or saying it's correct: I doubt it would work. I don't use php, but the sql statement still needs to be processed by mysql. I think this might work if MySQL supports a random function: Select *, RAND() as X from mytable WHERE id=23 ORDER BY X And even with this you might have to use a prequery to generate the random numbers and then order by the named field of the random numbers in a second query; i.e., the sql engine might want to optimize the select with the order by. Either way...
