    selecting records, then summing parts of a column, then sorting by that column...

    Hi,

    I’m keeping track of baseball stats, and each row represents one line of stats (from a box score) for one player of a single game. Because of this, a single player may have multiple rows in the table. I want to cumulate each player’s stats (so they’ll be one row per player) and display as output, which isn’t a problem. Then I want sort by a certain stat, but by now I’ve already looped through the table, so I can’t sort using a mySQL query at this point. I tried first putting values into an array in a previous project, but that became extremely complicated. What’s the best way to approach this?

    Ahhh... GROUP BY and SUM() seem to take care of it.
