Sort by Date in SQL - sql

Question

I have a resources table, one of the fields is a date field with the Data Type of date. I want to have to following output:
Current month records (say May - year is not important)
Then the following (again, assuming May is the current month)
June Records
July Records
August Records
September Records
October Records
November Records
December Records
January Records
February Records
March Records
April Records
Come June, June is the current month and then the order would be:
July Records
August Records
...
Here is my SQL...I don't know how to ORDER the output to achieve the desired order (5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4):
SELECT
resource_id,
resource_title,
resource_summary,
resource_category,
resource_status,
resource_date,
DATEPART(month, resource_date) AS resource_month,
DATEPART(day, resource_date) AS resource_day
FROM dbo.resources
WHERE (resource_category = N'Quotes')
AND (resource_status <> N'Draft')
I found this possible solution for MySQL:
I need unusual ordering mysql results
but I'm missing something on my end.

Answer 1

ORDER BY
(MONTH(resource_date) - MONTH(GETDATE()) + 12) % 12,
DATEADD(year, YEAR(GETDATE()) - YEAR(resource_date), resource_date),
YEAR(resource_date)
The first term sets the primary order by the month of resource_date (the current month will be first, the previous one, last). The second term orders the timestamps within a month regardless of the year of the date. If your dates do not contain time parts or if the time parts are absolutely irrelevant, you could replace it with DAY(resource_date). Finally, the last term takes the year into account for otherwise identical dates (could also be simply resource_date).

Answer 2

Will it work for you?
ORDER BY
CASE DATEPART(month, resource_date)
WHEN 5 THEN 0
WHEN 6 THEN 1
... etc
END

Answer 3

I think something like this might be what you're looking for:
SELECT
resource_id,
resource_title,
resource_summary,
resource_category,
resource_status,
resource_date
FROM
dbo.resources
WHERE
resource_date >= DATE_FORMAT(NOW() ,'%Y-%m-01') AND
resource_date < DATE_FORMAT(DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 YEAR) ,'%Y-%m-01')
ORDER BY
resource_date;

Answer 4

How 'bout ORDER BY (DATEPART(month,resource_date) - (DATEPART(month,getdate() -1)) % 12)
So in May (month 5), you order by the month in the row -6 (mod 12). So, June (month 6) would be 0, July (7) would be 1.
In June, July would be 0, etc.

Answer 5

You should be able to adapt the MySQL solution by using DATEPART in place of DATE_FORMAT:
SELECT resource_id, resource_title, resource_summary, resource_category, resource_status, resource_date, DATEPART(month, resource_date) AS resource_month, DATEPART(day, resource_date) AS resource_day
FROM dbo.resources
WHERE (resource_category = N'Quotes') AND (resource_status <> N'Draft')
ORDER BY DATEPART(month, resource_date) < DATEPART(month, GETDATE()),
DATEPART(month, resource_date)
I don't have SQL Server handy so I'm not sure if it will be happy with a boolean in the ORDER BY clause though. If it doesn't like the boolean ORDER BY, then a CASE should do the trick:
ORDER BY
CASE WHEN DATEPART(month, resource_date) < DATEPART(month, GETDATE())
THEN 0
ELSE 1
END,
DATEPART(month, resource_date)

Answer 6

I assume that there is a year within "resource_date" - isn't it?
In this case you can simply filter and order by
WHERE resource_date >= getdate()
AND resource_date < DATEADD(year,1,getdate())
ORDER BY resource_date;
If there is no year (or more exactly: different unknown years) you can do this:
ORDER BY
CASE
WHEN DATEADD(year,-year(resource_date),resource_date) <
DATEADD(year,-year(getdate()),getdate())
THEN 1
ELSE 0
END ASC,
DATEADD(year,-year(resource_date),resource_date);
Hope it helped ...
