sql - Is it possible to sort the results of a SELECT query in 2 different ways based on a conditional? -


the following invalid syntax i'm trying essentially:

  select *       categories  order menu_order asc parent = '1' || if parent = '0' order id asc; 

is possible order results of select query differently based on conditional within query?

just in case wasn't clear, trying order categories parent menu order , without parent id.

edit

so here's how database looks like:

id | name    | parent | menu_order  ==================================  1  | apparel | 0      | 2 2  | sports  | 0      | 4 3  | hats    | 1      | 5 4  | weights | 1      | 3 5  | lights  | 0      | 1 

the result set of query should be:

apparel sports lights  weights hats 

use case in order by, this:

select * categories order case when parent = '1'     menu_order     else id end;
