For this, you can use the ORDER BY CASE statement. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( DueDate date ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.56 sec)
Note − Let’s say the current date is 2019-07-22.
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-03-10'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-08-25'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-06-01'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('2019-12-31'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+------------+ | DueDate | +------------+ | 2019-03-10 | | 2019-08-25 | | 2019-06-01 | | 2019-12-31 | +------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to order by day and month −
mysql> select *from DemoTable order by case when DueDate > curdate() then 0 else 1 end, DueDate;
This will produce the following output −
+------------+ | DueDate | +------------+ | 2019-08-25 | | 2019-12-31 | | 2019-03-10 | | 2019-06-01 | +------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
