thank you

try (unfortunately not work if can reply reply):

select     id ,     user_id,     message,     date,     second_reply_id      my_table  order     second_reply_id,     if(         second_reply_id = 0,         id,         second_reply_id     ) 

update: order replies oldest newest use :

order if(second_offer_id =0, id, second_offer_id ) asc , if(second_offer_id =0, 'xxxx', date ) desc
