Sorry newbie question...

I have made two different search queries on the same table that both
retain the identical column information.

$resultfirst = @mysql_query ("SELECT company, address1, address2 FROM
table1 WHERE category=active ")

$resultsecond = @mysql_query ("SELECT company, address1, address2 FROM
table1 WHERE category=inactive ")

How can I now join these together in one list, with the results from
the first query being listed before the second, ie keeping the same
order.

Many thanks

Hi Alec,

SELECT company, address1, address2
FROM table1
WHERE category IN ('active','inactive')
ORDER BY category;

If category can only be active or inactive, you can omit the WHERE
clause. This is only required if other categories exist as well.

I hope these are the real names of the data elements.

SELECT category, company, address1, address2
FROM Table1
WHERE category IN ('active', 'inactive')
ORDER BY category, company, address1, address2;
