email is 5 hours behind, sms 0 hours behind: how to sort

I downloaded gmails and noticed the email time is 5 hours behind
my sms are in real time 0 hours behind


CREATE TABLE `email_doc` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `unix_timestamp` bigint(20) default NULL,
  `from_email` varchar(200) default NULL,
  `from_name` varchar(200) default NULL,
  `to_email` varchar(200) default NULL,
  `to_name` varchar(200) default NULL,
  `subject` varchar(400) default NULL,
  `body` varchar(4000) default NULL,
  `real_id` varchar(30) default NULL,
  `checked` int(11) default NULL,
  `me_description` varchar(9000) default NULL,
  `client_description` varchar(4000) default NULL,
  `sms_type` tinyint(4) default NULL,
  `client_start` datetime default NULL,
  `client_end` datetime default NULL,
  `client_total` int(11) default NULL,
  `me_start` datetime default NULL,
  `me_end` datetime default NULL,
  `me_total` int(11) default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `unix_timestamp` (`unix_timestamp`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=1758 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8$$




select * from email_doc order by unix_timestamp

if email (real_id is not null), then the time is unix_timestamp +5 hours


$row->unix_timestamp+18000

is sms
real_id is null
$row->unix_timestamp


when I use php I see messages out of order

echo $row->unix_timestamp;
if (!empty($row->real_id)){
echo'<br>'.date("M j, g:i A", $row->unix_timestamp+18000);  
echo '<br>'.$row->subject;
}else{
  echo'<br>'.date("M j, g:i A", $row->unix_timestamp);
}

Open in new window



I want to order by time, not unix_timestamp



I think it would be best if I can sort using mysql query
