Syntax wanted

[bhanu1225]

Hello All.

Is there any syntax for getting fields in a column in an alphabetical order in mysql?

See, for example...
I have a two column with "NAME & NUM".
NAME NUM
BHANU 6
KIRAN 3
ADAPA 8
CHANDU 7

I need to get the names in alphabetical order.
There is one syntax : select NAME from tablename orderby NUM;

I don't need this syntax.
Without having these kind of Syntaxes, it should display directly.
Help needy.

You could also have them bothlisted alpabetically.

SELECT name, num FROM tablename ORDER BY name, num

That might give you:

+------+-----+
| name | num |
+------+-----+
| Abc  |   1 |
| Abc  |   2 |
| Abc  |   4 |
| Bbc  |   2 |
| Bbc  |   5 |
| Cbc  |   3 |
| Cbc  |   7 |
+------+-----+

I think there is no other way in SQL to fetch the results in alphabetical order other than the "ORDER BY" phrase.
