[mysql] MySQL ORDER BY multiple column ASC and DESC

I have 2 MYSQL tables, users and scores. Detail:

• users table:

• scores table:

My intention is get 20 users list that have point field sort DESC (descending) combine avg_time field sort ASC (ascending). I use the query:

SELECT users.username, scores.point, scores.avg_time
FROM scores, users
WHERE scores.user_id = users.id
GROUP BY users.username
ORDER BY scores.point DESC, scores.avg_time
LIMIT 0, 20

The result is:

The result is wrong because the first line is exactly point = 100 and avg_time = 60.

My desired result is:

username    point    avg_time
demo123      100        60
demo123456   100       100
demo         90        120

I tried many times with different queries but the result is still wrong. Could you give me some solutions?

Thanks in advance!

group by default order by pk id,so the result
username point avg_time
demo123 100 90 ---> id = 4
demo123456 100 100 ---> id = 7
demo 90 120 ---> id = 1

i think u miss understand about table relation..

users : scores = 1 : *

just join is not a solution.

is this your intention?

SELECT users.username, avg(scores.point), avg(scores.avg_time)
FROM scores, users
WHERE scores.user_id = users.id
GROUP BY users.username
ORDER BY avg(scores.point) DESC, avg(scores.avg_time)
LIMIT 0, 20

(this query to get each users average point and average avg_time by desc point, asc )avg_time

if you want to get each scores ranking? use left outer join

SELECT users.username, scores.point, scores.avg_time
FROM scores left outer join users on scores.user_id = users.id
ORDER BY scores.point DESC, scores.avg_time
LIMIT 0, 20

@DRapp is a genius. I never understood how he coded his SQL,so I tried coding it in my own understanding.

    SELECT 
      f.username,
      f.point,
      f.avg_time
    FROM
      (
      SELECT
        userscores.username,
        userscores.point,
        userscores.avg_time
      FROM
        (
        SELECT
          users.username,
          scores.point,
          scores.avg_time
        FROM
          scores
        JOIN users
        ON scores.user_id = users.id
        ORDER BY scores.point DESC
        ) userscores
      ORDER BY
        point DESC,
        avg_time
      ) f
    GROUP BY f.username
    ORDER BY point DESC

It yields the same result by using GROUP BY instead of the user @variables.
