RE: search in alphabetical order

You want to use “LIKE A%” will show everything that starts with A 

 

I use it like this: 

SELECT * FROM `database` WHERE `database field` LIKE '$start_here%'

 

Where $start_here is the letter they clicked on.

If you are using MySql you can try ORDER by Statment.

e,g. Select Fieldname from Tablename ORDER by fieldname

- by default the Order by is set to "ASC" or Ascending Order you can set it to "DESC" or Descending Order

hi,

Please guide me on how to code to search elements from database
in alphabetical order.

If we click on A all items starting from A get displayed.
