Hello,
I was hoping somebody might be able to help me do this: I have a table with
two fields (num int, name text)
num | name
----------------------------------------------
15 | First Category Heading
1510 | first category subheading
1511 | second category subheading
1560 | spurious category subheading
156010| first spurious category subheading
156011| second spurious category subheading
16 | Second Category Heading
1610 | Second category subheading
161010| Second category subheading subheading
and so on...
My problem is I want to pull that data out and group it so that it comes out
just the way it went in.. So my page can read:
15: First Category Heading
1510: first category subheading
1511: second category subheading
16: ... and so on..
I thought I could probably group by num on the first two digits and order by
asc? but I can't find a way to make that work.
Thanks in advance.
