MySQL query to list A-Z for multiple columns

Question

I have a database with companies in it and each company has various contact names in their own columns named

nameone nametwo namethree namefour namefive namesix

I need to search all the names by their first letter then pull the data if the first letter matches. eg Select nameone WHERE nameone == "B".

I then need to order this by ASC eg Select nameone WHERE nameone == "B" ORDER BY ASC.

eg output for T would be Tanya Tracey Trevor Tom

The problem is it may be a combination of several names that match. eg Select nameone WHERE nameone == "B" OR WHERE nametwo == "B". and as such I need to be able to order them via AZ in the output (hope that makes sense!)

eg output for T would be Tanya from nameone Tracey from nameone Trevor from nametwo Tom from namethree

I'm using Mysqli and I thought this may be possible using CASE. Below is my query.

// added ."%" so value becomes e.g. A% (to allow the LIKE clause and search for first letter only 
e.g. show all nameone or nametwo begining with A)
$value = $letter . "%";
// prepare query + bind values. 
$stmt = $mysqli -> prepare('SELECT id, displayname, nameone, nametwo, namethree, namefour, namefive, 
namesix FROM companies WHERE nameone LIKE ? OR nametwo LIKE ? OR namethree LIKE ? OR namefour LIKE ? OR 
namefive LIKE ? OR namesix LIKE ? ORDER BY (CASE WHEN nameone LIKE ? THEN nameone END) ASC, (CASE 
WHEN nametwo LIKE ? THEN nametwo END) ASC, (CASE WHEN namethree LIKE ? THEN namethree END) ASC, 
(CASE WHEN namefour LIKE ? THEN namefour END) ASC, (CASE WHEN namefive LIKE ? THEN namefive END) 
ASC, (CASE WHEN namesix LIKE ? THEN namesix END) ASC');

                        if (
                        $stmt &&
                        $stmt -> bind_param('ssssssssssss', $value, $value, $value, $value, $value, 
$value, $value, $value, $value, $value, $value, $value) &&
                        $stmt -> execute() &&
                        $stmt -> store_result() &&
                        $stmt -> bind_result($id, $displayname, $nameone, $nametwo, $namethree, 
$namefour, $namefive, $namesix)

However, this doesn't seem to work. It orders by nameone. So if for example I search for "T" it would order by nameone then if a "T" name (say tyrone) was found in nametwo, it puts it at the top of the list instead of near the bottom.

To output the data i'm using the below in a while loop

<?php if (strtoupper($nameone[0]) == strtoupper($letter)) {
echo htmlspecialchars($nameone)."<br>";
} ?>
<?php if (strtoupper($nametwo[0]) == strtoupper($letter)) {
echo htmlspecialchars($nametwo)."<br>";
} ?>                                        
<?php if (strtoupper($namethree[0]) == strtoupper($letter)) {
echo htmlspecialchars($namethree)."<br>";
} ?>    
<?php if (strtoupper($namefour[0]) == strtoupper($letter)) {
echo htmlspecialchars($namefour)."<br>";
} ?> 
<?php if (strtoupper($namefive[0]) == strtoupper($letter)) {
echo htmlspecialchars($namefive)."<br>";
} ?>                                         
<?php if (strtoupper($namesix[0]) == strtoupper($letter)) {
echo htmlspecialchars($namesix)."<br>";
} ?> 

Any ideas what I've done wrong?

UPDATE

Just realised, If I searched for eg "T" and a name called Tanya was in "nameone" column then

CASE WHEN nameone LIKE? THEN nameone END

would be a hit and in turn would stop the query (correct??). If so, how would I combine the list of names from nameone, nametwo, namethree etc etc in the query to AZ them?

#

UPDATE 2

To try and make it clearer. I have a table like:

 --------------------------------------------------------------------- | nameone | nametwo | namethree | companyname | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Troy | Alice | jane | SRS LTD | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Simon | james | Trevor | LRP LTD | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Spike | Tony | jon | Jones LTD | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Luke | Chris | tom | LRP LTD | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

How would I say Give me all names begining with T then Az them?

eg

SELECT companyname, nameone, nametwo, namethree FROM companies WHERE any names 1st letter begings with T ORDER BY ASC

So it would output

1. Tom
2. Tony
3. Trevor
4. Troy

UPDATE 3

This seems to work (still testing)

 SELECT ID, displayname, nameone, nametwo, namethree, namefour, namefive, namesix FROM kelham WHERE nameone LIKE? OR nametwo LIKE? OR namethree LIKE? OR namefour LIKE? OR namefive LIKE? OR namesix LIKE? ORDER BY CASE WHEN nameone LIKE? THEN nameone WHEN nametwo LIKE? THEN nametwo WHEN namethree LIKE? THEN namethree WHEN namefour LIKE? THEN namefour WHEN namefive LIKE? THEN namefive WHEN namesix LIKE? THEN namesix END ASC');
