Assuming that your primary key is the first field in the table, this will work:

SELECT * FROM `table` ORDER BY 1

The command should work:

SELECT * from table order by id;

Hi,

What I cannot believe is that no one has commented on this

Google returned this page as a result of my query ‘mysql order by primary’ There must be a way to use that logic (not having to provide the primary index name in the order by clause. Anyway…

I just started looking – but I thought I would say hi and say that I agree that the PHP knowledge base is better than the mySQL documentation and dev chat base.
