I am using MySQL 5.5. I am facing a problem on how to find the max value in the last digit.
For example below the table, I want to get the max value is detected the last digit. The result should be 100-1-15
x
Table name: abc
+----+------------+
| id | code |
+----+------------+
| 1 | 100-1-1 |
| 2 | 100-1-2 |
| 3 | 100-1-15 |
| 4 | 100-1-6 |
| 5 | 100-1-3 |
| 6 | 100-1-5 |
| 7 | 100-1-9 |
+----+------------+
I am using below the SQL query, but doesn’t work:
SELECT id,max(code) FROM abc;
Hope someone can guide me how to solve it and can get the max code is 100-1-15
. Thanks.

SELECT *
from abc
order by SUBSTRING_INDEX(code, '-', -1) + 0 desc
limit 1
