At the moment I have a query that looks like this

		'SELECT IF
			( table.competition
			IN
			(
				\'column1\',
				\'column2\',
				\'column3\',
				\'column4\'
			),
			\'First\',
			table.competition
			)
		AS competition,
      --- lots more code ---
		GROUP BY competition
		ORDER BY FIELD(table.competition,\'First\',\'FA Cup\',\'League Cup\') ASC
  ;');

This basically takes a lot numbers from columns 1,2,3,4 adds them up and displays them under First. Is it possible to add another if to the start of the query? I want to take info from columns 5 and 6 but this has to go under a different column to First.

		SELECT IF
			( table.competition
			IN
			(
				\'column5\',
				\'column6\'
			),
			\'Second\',
			table.competition
			)

Then the ORDER BY FIELD would change to

		ORDER BY FIELD(table.competition,\'First\',\'FA Cup\',\'League Cup\',\'Second\') ASC

Does anyone know if that be done?

I suspect you'd get more answers here if you provided a bit more info or changed your title to reflect sql. Did you try stackoverflow?

Normally if i need a conditional select I run php if statements. it's a little more forgiving than sql select if.
