数字排序mysql,MySQL查询数字排序

I have the following query:

$result = $mysqli->query('SELECT DISTINCT SKU_SIZE_PART1

FROM SKU_DATA

WHERE SKU_BRANDNAME = "'.$brand.'"

ORDER BY SKU_SIZE_PART1 DESC');

while( $row = $result->fetch_assoc()){

$sku_size1 = $row['SKU_SIZE_PART1'];

echo $sku_size1;

}

Basically what is happening is.. the order is all messed up. This is what comes up:

9.50, 8.75, 8.00, 7.50, 7.00, 37, 35, 33, 325, 32, 315, 31, 305, 30, 295

325 should come up first, then 315 then so on.

What can I do to make this happen?

You need to cast sku_size_part1 into a float.

This will slow your query down, but it will work:

$brand = mysqli_real_escape_string($brand);

$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT DISTINCT sku_size_part1

FROM sku_data

WHERE sku_brandname = '$brand'

ORDER BY CAST(sku_size_part1 AS FLOAT) DESC");

This will slow the query down, because MySQL will not be able to use an index to do the sorting, using a function prevents that.

A better solution (if possible) would be to redefine sku-size_part1 as a decimal(10,2).

-- Make a backup first --

ALTER TABLE sku_data CHANGE sku_size_part1 DECIMAL(10,2);

(Make sure the first parameter (10) and the second parameter (2) are large enough to hold all possible values.)
