Sort by Email Address

Question

Hello,
I have an application that I want to sort by the email
address URL ( everything right of the @ ) , but still want to
display the full email address. There was a question similar to
this but it was not answered in a format that I could use. I am
using an Access Database.
My query is
<cfquery name="getEmails"
dataSource="#application.db#">
SELECT email_ID, email_address
FROM email_out
ORDER by email_address
</cfquery>
I have tried the ListLast(email_address,"@") in the SQL
statement but can not get it to work.
I have tried the ListLast(email_address,"@") in the query
output which will print out the right part of the email address,
but that is not quite what I want.
I want to have the query output all of the information but
sort it by the text that is right of the @
i.e. [email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
So basically if this did not throw an error this is what I
would need -
<cfquery name="getEmails"
dataSource="#application.db#">
SELECT email_ID, email_address
FROM email_out
ORDER by ListLast(email_address,"@")
</cfquery>
But this doesn't work I also tried the SELECT email_ID,
ListLast(email_address,"@") as daEmail
but that didn't work either
Thanks in advance.

That did it! Thank you so much.
Just out of curiosity ( And I now it's going to come up ) How
would one accomplish this MYSQL?
In later versions of MySql it should be:
ORDER BY
Substring (email_address, 1 + InStr (email_address, '@') )
, email_address
