Order by Length - impressed this worked :-) - PaulD - 08-29-2016
Hi,
Was really impressed that this worked:
PHP Code:
$this->db->order_by('LENGTH(story_text)', 'DESC');
I sat there for ages wondering how I was going to order by length, and I just thought I would try it (it is part of a much longer query so I did not want to write it all out as SQL), and wow, it worked!
Just thought I would share that.
Paul.
