title: SQLite Select DISTINCT Values of a Column without Ordering
body: <p>I would like to know whether its possible to get a list of distinct values in a SQLite Column without ordering them.</p>
  
  <p>I tried following query. But it automatically orders the unique text into ascending order.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>SELECT DISTINCT column FROM table;</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Ex.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Column</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>Mathew
  Mathew
  John
  John
  John
  Numbers
  Numbers
  </code></pre>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p><strong>Result</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>John
  Mathew
  Numbers
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I would like it not to be ordered. Would like it in Mathew, John, Numbers</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
