Hi Monks;
I have a piece of my code here to show and to ask for help understanding why my SELECT statement doesn't work when I am selecting it using ORDER BY, it works if I query the DB it self but in my perl code it doesn't print the result in the order I am specifying on the code.
Here is the code I know this isn't the place for SQL question but I guess some of you might had similar problems like that before.
Thanks for the help, here is the code:
foreach my $key (%num) {

            
            if($order == 2 ){
   
        $sql = "SELECT * FROM admin WHERE day = '$d' AND month = '$m_n
+um' and year = '$y' AND NUM = '$num' AND status= '2' ORDER BY name";
           
           }else{
   
            $sql = "SELECT * FROM admin WHERE day = '$d' AND month = '
+$m_num' and year = '$y' AND NUM = '$num' AND status= '2'";           
+ 
            
            }
            
        $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
        $sth->execute() || die $sth->errstr;
        
                        
        while ($pointer = $sth->fetchrow_hashref)
        {
         my $num=$pointer->{'NUM'};
         my $name=$pointer->{'name'};
        }
        
        print "NAME = $name<br>";
        
}
