How can PHP be used to numerically order data retrieved from a database table?

To numerically order data retrieved from a database table using PHP, you can use an SQL query with an ORDER BY clause specifying the column you want to order by. You can also use PHP functions like mysqli_fetch_array() to retrieve the data and display it in the desired order. 

// Connect to the database
$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost", "username", "password", "database");

// Query to retrieve data ordered by a specific column
$query = "SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY column_name ASC";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $query);

// Loop through the results and display them
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
    echo $row['column_name'] . "<br>";
}

// Close the connection
mysqli_close($conn);
