Syntax error MySQL query to sort by both timestamp and enum?

MySQL query to sort by both timestamp and enum?

For this, you can use ORDER BY DATE(). Let us first create a table. Here, we have a column with type DATE and another with type ENUM −

mysql> create table DemoTable
   -> (
   -> JoiningDate date,
   -> Status ENUM('Good','Excellent','Bad')
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.58 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-01-21','Excellent');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(Status) values('Bad');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(Status) values('Good');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

This will produce the following output −

+-------------+-----------+
| JoiningDate | Status    |
+-------------+-----------+
| 2019-01-21  | Excellent |
| NULL        | Bad       |
| NULL        | Good      |
+-------------+-----------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Here is the query to sort order by both timestamp and enum −

mysql> select *from DemoTable
   -> order by DATE(JoiningDate) ASC, Status asc;

This will produce the following output −

+-------------+-----------+
| JoiningDate | Status    |
+-------------+-----------+
| NULL        | Good      |
| NULL        | Bad       |
| 2019-01-21  | Excellent |
+-------------+-----------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
