MySQL按索引ID从单独的表中排序

Question

I have run into a problem that I'm sure is easy to achieve. I have a table for some merchandise. It holds all the information including the id for the manufacturer. The information about the manufacturer is in a separate table. When users are searching they have filter options. The one I'm having trouble with is filtering by manufacturer.

Products Table: cs_products
id | name    | manufacturer_id
---------------------------
1  | mic     | 3
2  | cable   | 2
3  | speaker | 1

Manufacturer Table: cs_manufacturer
id | name
------------------
1  | JBL
2  | Rapco
3  | Shure

When the query is ran I need to ORDER BY cs_manufacturer.name:

mysql_query("SELECT * FROM cs_products ORDER BY cs_manufacturer.name")

What is the proper syntax for this?

Answer 1

SELECT * FROM cs_products JOIN cs_manufacturer
ON cs_product.manufacturer_id = cs_manufacturer.id
ORDER BY cs_manufacturer.name

Answer 2

You are missing your join.

SELECT * FROM cs_products 
JOIN cs_manufacturer on cs_products.manufacturer_id = cs_manufacturer.id 
ORDER BY cs_manufacturer.name
