How to get rows with highest value, if two or more Columns have same value

Question

I have posts table, i want to display most viewed posts first, but i am not getting proper result if two or more columns have same value. I mean if one posts have 25 views and second have the same(25) views, then i am getting only one result, but i want to display all the results. Help me please..

Here is My Code :

$real_query = mysqli_query(
  $connect,
  "SELECT id, note_topic, note_owner_id, note_by_name, 
   views FROM user_note GROUP BY views ORDER BY MAX(views) DESC"
);

Answer 1

Just remove grouping by views:

GROUP BY views

Also remove aggregation from ORDER BY clause:

ORDER BY MAX(views) DESC

to

ORDER BY views DESC

Answer 2

I think you are looking for a query like this one:

select
  id, note_topic, note_owner_id, note_by_name, views
from
  user_note
where
  views = (select MAX(views) from user_note)

if there's only one maximum post, this query will just return 1 row, otherwise it will return all rows that have the maximum number of views.

Answer 3

This will display the top ten records ordered by the number of views, in descendant order,
including records that have the same number of top views

SELECT 
    id, note_topic, note_owner_id, note_by_name, views 
FROM 
    user_note 
ORDER BY views DESC
LIMIT 10
