How to sort time ( In AM / PM ) in SQL?

Question

I am facing problem with sorting according to AM / PM.

Here is my table data

login_time
1:30 PM
2:00 AM
8:00 AM
9:30 PM
10:00 PM
11:10 AM

I want result as:

login_time
2:00 AM
8:00 AM
11:10 AM
1:30 PM
9:30 PM
10:00 PM

How can I do this?

Answer 1

You could use STR_TO_DATE function, and you could also extract only the time part with TIME() if you wish:

SELECT
  login_time
FROM
  tablename
ORDER BY
  STR_TO_DATE(login_time, '%l:%i %p')
