Thankfully, MySQL allows you to specify in which order the rows should be returned.
The order is specified using the ORDER BY clause. The clause accepts a list of one or more expressions (which can just be column names). For every row, the expressions in the ORDER BY clause are evaluated. Then the resulting values are put into a list that is then sorted. The rows are then returned according to this order. Sound complex? Here is a simplified version of the steps laid out for you: 1. A query is sent to the server, like so: SELECT * FROM book ORDER BY title; 2. For every row that is returned, the appropriate value of the title column is put into a list, like the following: Green Eggs and Ham (Row 1) In the Night Kitchen (Row 2) How to Be a Grouch (Row 3) Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang (Row 4) Additionally, the server knows to which row the title corresponds.
