Narrowing sql query - sql

Question

I am trying to be more specific on my query as you can see (link to image below) from the cupID column there is groups A to H 3 times. All I am trying to do is have 3 queries, first query to output all groups A-H only once, second query from the second and third from the third if that makes sense?
This is the query
SELECT cupID, date, matchno,
clan1,
clan2,
si
FROM ws_bi2_cup_matches
WHERE ladID='0'
AND matchno = '6'
AND TYPE = 'gs'
GROUP BY clan1
ORDER BY cupID ASC
which shows: (take a look at picture)

so query 1/2/3 should output separately like (a,b,c,d etc) instead of 1 query showing multiples (aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd etc)
Many thanks for help

Answer 1

Based on the assumption that you are performing a union all on your 3 queries, please add a dummy column viz SortOrder and order by on it.
In the following sample query (SQL Server), I assumed all 3 queries as same, please do change them accordingly with the dummy sortorder:
-- 1st query
SELECT cupID, date, matchno,
clan1,
clan2,
si,
1 as SortOrder -- dummy sort column
FROM ws_bi2_cup_matches
WHERE ladID='0'
AND matchno = '6'
AND TYPE = 'gs'
GROUP BY clan1
union all
-- 2nd query
SELECT cupID, date, matchno,
clan1,
clan2,
si,
2 as SortOrder -- dummy sort column
FROM ws_bi2_cup_matches
WHERE ladID='0'
AND matchno = '6'
AND TYPE = 'gs'
GROUP BY clan1
union all
-- 3rd query
SELECT cupID, date, matchno,
clan1,
clan2,
si,
3 as SortOrder -- dummy sort column
FROM ws_bi2_cup_matches
WHERE ladID='0'
AND matchno = '6'
AND TYPE = 'gs'
GROUP BY clan1
order by 7 -- dummy sort order column
