You can use ORDER BY ASC to order timestamp values in ascending order.
The following is the syntax without using TIMESTAMP() −
SELECT yourTimestampColumnName from yourTableName order by yourTimestampColumnName ASC;
To understand the above syntax, let us create a table. The query to create a table is as follows −
mysql> create table Timestamp_TableDemo -> ( -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, -> yourTimestamp timestamp -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.83 sec)
Now you can insert some records in the table using insert command. The query is as follows −
mysql> insert into Timestamp_TableDemo(yourTimestamp) values('2019-02-06 17:34:57'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into Timestamp_TableDemo(yourTimestamp) values('2019-02-06 17:32:30'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.25 sec) mysql> insert into Timestamp_TableDemo(yourTimestamp) values('2019-02-06 17:32:09'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
Now you can display all records from the table using a select statement. The query is as follows −
mysql> select *from Timestamp_TableDemo;
The following is the output −
+----+---------------------+ | Id | yourTimestamp | +----+---------------------+ | 1 | 2019-02-06 17:34:57 | | 2 | 2019-02-06 17:32:30 | | 3 | 2019-02-06 17:32:09 | +----+---------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to order timestamp values in ascending order −
mysql> select yourTimestamp from Timestamp_TableDemo -> order by yourTimestamp ASC;
The following is the output −
+---------------------+ | yourTimestamp | +---------------------+ | 2019-02-06 17:32:09 | | 2019-02-06 17:32:30 | | 2019-02-06 17:34:57 | +---------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
