You can actually do a group by allowing you to do a sort by month.
See here[^] + this discussion here.

Why do you convert the date data into string before the sort? If you have the actual data in a date field, just use that in your ORDER BY clause:

... ORDER BY DateField

If you sort with partial date information the rows in the same month (or year unless you include that also) will be in 'random' order. I take it that is not what you want unless you have some other field you want to use for ordering within a month.

Solution 3

Try:

SQL

SELECT * FROM myTable ORDER BY Year(myDateColumn), Month(myDateColumn)

Never try to sort only by the month: You need the year as well to be meaningfull.

You are welcome - but please DON'T SHOUT. Using all capitals is considered shouting on the internet, and rude (using all lower case is considered childish). Use proper capitalisation if you want to be taken seriously.
