Php 如何基于列组为我的用户显示表设置自定义加载顺序

所以我目前正在为我的社区建立一个新的CMS，遇到了一个小问题。我希望能够从命令链中的最高级别到最低级别列出级别，但我无法使用基于字符串的级别来解决这一问题

    <?php
    include "dbh.php";
    include "header.php";
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM users_leo";
    $result = $conn->query($sql);
    $row = $result->fetch_assoc();
    $rank = $row["rank"];
    $department = $row["department"];



    ?>
    <div class="login-page">
    </div>
    <div class='form'>
    <?php
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM users_leo";
    $result = $conn->query($sql);

    if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    echo "<table>
     <tr>
        <th>In-Game Name</th>
        <th>Rank</th>
        <th>Department</th>
        <th>Profile</th>
     </tr>";
      while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        echo "<tr>";
        echo "<td>"; echo $row['username']; echo"</td>";
        echo "<td>"; echo $row['username']; echo"</td>";
        echo "<td>"; echo $row['department'];  echo"</td>";
        echo '<td><a class="viewProfile" href="profile.php?id=' . $row['id']. '"><button>View Profile</button></a></td>';
        echo "</tr>";

    }
}
    ?>

  </div>
</div>
  </body>

正如您在下面的代码中看到的，列组存储为字符串

 echo "<select name='rank'>
<option value='Corrections Officer'>Corrections Officer</option>
<option value='Senior Corrections Officer'>Senior Corrections Officer</option>
<option value='DOC Corporal'>DOC Corporal</option>
<option value='DOC Sergeant'>DOC Sergeant</option>
<option value='DOC Lieutenant'>DOC Lieutenant</option>
<option value='DOC Head Lieutenant'>DOC Head Lieutenant</option>
<option value='DOC Command'>DOC Command</option>
<option value='Trooper 3rd class'>Trooper 3rd Class</option>
<option value='Trooper 2nd class'>Trooper 2nd Class</option>
<option value='Trooper 1st class'>Trooper 1st Class</option>
<option value='Lance Corporal'>Lance Corporal</option>
<option value='State Corporal'>State Corporal</option>
<option value='State Sergeant'>State Sergeant</option>
<option value='First Sergeant'>First Sergeant</option>
<option value='2nd Lieutenant'>2nd Lieutenant</option>
<option value='1st Lieutenant'>1st Lieutenant</option>
<option value='State Command'>State Command</option>
<option value='Officer'>Officer</option>
<option value='Senior Officer'>Senior Officer</option>
<option value='Police corporal'>Police Corporal</option>
<option value='Police Sergeant'>Police Sergeant</option>
<option value='Staff Sergeant'>Staff Sergeant</option>
<option value='Police Lieutenant'>Police Lieutenant</option>
<option value='Police Head Lieutenant'>Police Head Lieutenant</option>
<option value='PD Command'>PD Command</option>
<option value='Overseer'>Overseer</option>
    </select>

echo”

我已经尝试了很多次，但都找不到解决方案。另外，如果有人能解释如何设置，使其显示为字符串，我愿意将所有列改为数字。

如果您想按从高到低的顺序选择字符串，下面是代码ASC[升序到降序]和DESC[降序到升序]

SELECT * FROM users_leo ORDER BY column_name ASC [or] DESC;
