Answer 1

This is exactly what you need:

SELECT * 
FROM results
ORDER BY SUBSTRING( qid
FROM 1 
FOR 1 ) ASC , marks DESC

Answer 2

I didn't really understand your question but looking on the result, I've noticed that records are sorted by qid which contains EN to be the first on the result list.

give this a try,

SELECT  *
FROM    tableName
ORDER   BY  CASE WHEN qid LIKE 'EN%' THEN 0 
                WHEN qid LIKE 'P1%' THEN 1
                ELSE 2
            END ASC,
            marks DESC

Answer 3

This might help you:

  SELECT *
    FROM results
ORDER BY SUBSTRING(qid FROM 1 FOR 9) ASC,
         marks DESC
