group by alias

[devit]

Hi I have a simple query as below, when I go to the group by tab it shows the alias as selectable but when I select it, it shows as a numeric value. Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks in advance.



SELECT
`billing_data`.`start_gmt_datetime` AS `start_gmt_datetime`,
MONTHNAME(start_gmt_datetime) AS `month`,
YEAR(start_gmt_datetime) AS `year`,
sum(kwh_used) AS `month_total`
FROM `billing_data`
WHERE `member_account_no` = 'SE0033284'
GROUP BY `month`, `year`
ORDER BY `start_gmt_datetime` ASC

This is by design.

These are the column numbers of the query result.

Okay, but when I select them ( from the selection side )they say month, year so for constancy maybe they should say the same on the selected side and not go to a non descriptive numeric value

We will reconsider the existing behavior when developing future versions of the product.
