Hi Flutherites!

I have a table in my MySQL database. Imagine just a standard table: id, val, plus one column named `active`, which is an ENUM(‘active’,‘not_active’).

There is either one or no record with `active` set to ‘active’. I want to sort my table using a query, so that the order is just standard (ORDER BY id ASC), but it puts the record with `active`=‘active’ on top, if available.

I’m using CodeIgniter if that helps anyone. My current query code is:

$query = $this->db->query(“SELECT * FROM presets”);

Maybe rearrange the $query-array instead of using a query if it can’t be done? I hope someone knows, otherwise I’ll have to write some workaround.

Thanks!
Davey.
