SHOW TABLES should list results alphabetically by default
See original GitHub issueIn the current version, SHOW TABLES
does not return the result in a sorted manner. Adding ORDER BY tableName
does not help. Most DBs sort the output of SHOW TABLES
alphabetically by default, I think it would make sense if we did the same.
Note: This is not a UI-only change regarding results in the Web Console, but requires changes in how the SQL is executed in the backend.

I was testing this and it seems like the feature has been implemented in the current master branch (6.5.3), however it was not implemented in whatever version the live demo on the website is using. It’s notable that in the table preview in the top left the tables are listed alphabetically in two groups: those that start with capitals and those that start with lowercase, however
SHOW TABLES
works as expected. It definitely doesn’t seem coincidental given that I was able to reproduce it a lot.@stephenspol I don’t think this one is resolved. Could be a coincidence that you’re getting records in-order.
