php-mysqlHow to order by a column in MySQL using PHP?

To order by a column in MySQL using PHP, you can use the ORDER BY clause in a SELECT statement. For example:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY column_name ASC";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);

This will output the results of the query in ascending order based on the values in the column_name column.

Code explanation

• SELECT * FROM table_name: This is the query that will select all the data from the table_name table.
• ORDER BY column_name ASC: This clause will order the results of the query in ascending order based on the values in the column_name column.
• mysqli_query($conn, $sql): This will execute the query and return the result set.
