The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

COUNT(*) as XXX and order by XXX

Asked by mcarr1 in ColdFusion Application Server

Tags: select, order, add, xxx

I am writing a "company_listing" page to view all the companies in our database.  as one of the columns, I have a "count(*) as contactcount" statement in the query to view how many contacts a given company has assigned to it.  

The count works fine, but I want to be able to ORDER the list by that value and have it list the company with the most contacts first

When I add "ORDER BY ContactCount" into the query it throws an error of "Too few parameters. Expected 1. "

When I run a Q of Q on the main query and order by that column, it works.

Here's the main query:

BTW: Database is Access

<cfquery name="get_company_list" datasource="#application.dsn#" >
SELECT <cfif not IsDefined("url.letter") or not IsDefined("url.viewall")>TOP 30</cfif>
com.company_name,com.company_id,com.sales_rep,com.modification_date,phn.phone_number,phn.phone_desc,com.status,(SELECT count(*)  FROM company_link WHERE company_id = com.company_id AND affiliation = 'current') as ContactCount FROM (companies com LEFT join phone_numbers phn on com.company_id=phn.company_id)
ORDER BY ContactCount
</cfquery>

Once I get this working, I will probably add a <CFSWITCH> to do asc and desc for each table column displayed, but I am most interested in getting it to work desc for the moment.
