Is there any way to order result by column value?

Question

I have MySQL table with many columns.

id|Date      |col1|col2|col3|col4|col5|...                |col500|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
 1|01.10.2019| 152|  99|   0|1598|  48|  filled with zeros|     1|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
 2|02.10.2019|  12| 344|  19|2544|   3|  filled with zeros|   152|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
....

Is it possible to order column

SELECT * FROM table WHERE Date = '02.10.2019' ORDER BY COLUMNS

and get result like this

id|Date       |col4|col2|col500|col3|col1|col5|...              |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
 2|02.10.2019 |2544| 344|   152|  19|  12|   3|filled with zeros

Answer 1

If you want to order by columns value, as Madhur Bhaiya and P.Salmon said, may be your table is not properly designed, and you are probably speaking of rows , and not of columns . Instead of a table with columns ID/ Date/ col1/ col2/... / col500 , perhaps you need a table like this

CREATE TABLE tbl(
pk integer not null primary key default autoincrement,
id integer not null,
dt date not null,
xxx_id integer,
value integer);

where XXX_ID represent the column position in your old table (may be an identifier of single record, I don't know what you are using this table for).

Now you have to insert the values:

INSERT INTO tbl (id, date, value) VALUES (1, '2019-10-01', 152);
INSERT INTO tbl (id, date, value) VALUES (1, '2019-10-01', 99);
INSERT INTO tbl (id, date, value) VALUES (1, '2019-10-01', 0);
INSERT INTO tbl (id, date, value) VALUES (1, '2019-10-01', 1592);
INSERT INTO tbl (id, date, value) VALUES (1, '2019-10-01', 48);
....
INSERT INTO tbl (id, date, value) VALUES (2, '2019-10-02', 12);
INSERT INTO tbl (id, date, value) VALUES (2, '2019-10-02', 344);
INSERT INTO tbl (id, date, value) VALUES (2, '2019-10-02', 19);
INSERT INTO tbl (id, date, value) VALUES (2, '2019-10-02', 2544);
...

And the answer to your question becomes very easy, something like

select * from tbl 
where id = 1 AND date = '2019-10-01'
order by value

Last point: you can decide to insert records with ZERO value, or skip them, or insert them with NULL value. It depends on what is the goal of the table.
