How do I sort the result of this MySQL query as I want them?

Question

Here's the data I have;

type      valid blocked
--------- ----- --------
CPI       0     0
CPI       1     0
CPI       0     1
CPI       1     1
CPA       0     0
CPA       1     0
CPA       0     1
CPA       1     1
CPE       0     0
CPE       1     0
CPE       0     1
CPE       1     1
PIN       0     0
PIN       1     0
PIN       0     1
PIN       1     1

Here's how I want it sorted;

type      valid blocked
--------- ----- --------
CPI       1     0
CPA       1     0
CPI       1     1
CPA       1     1
CPI       0     0
CPA       0     0
CPI       0     1
CPA       0     1
CPE       1     0
CPE       1     1
CPE       0     0
CPE       0     1
PIN       1     0
PIN       1     1
PIN       0     0
PIN       0     1

So, CPI and CPA first, sorted by valid then unblocked. Next its CPI sorted by valid then unblocked and finally PIN, again sorted by valid and unblocked.

Is that even possible to sort like this in one query? Thanks.

Answer 1

select * from your_table
order by case when type in ('CPI','CPA') then 1
              when type = 'CPE' then 2
              when type = 'PIN' then 3
         end,
         valid <> 0, 
         blocked

Answer 2

select * from your_table
order by `type` in ('CPI','CPA') desc
    , `type` = 'CPE' desc
    , `type` = 'PIN' desc
    , valid desc, blocked
    , `type` = 'CPI' desc
;
