mysql group by query (very close) - mysql

Question

I have 3 tables (simplified):
orders (orderid, date)
orderlines (lineid, orderid, userid)
users (userid, name)
I would like a list of numbers of orders per user grouped by year and month orders by username. The reason why order lines have the user id is that an order line can be changed by another user. The following gives me a list of numbers of order lines, but it needs to count the orders only:
SELECT
users.name,
COUNT(orders.orderid) AS number,
MONTH(orders.date) AS month,
YEAR(orders.date) AS year
FROM orders
INNER JOIN orderlines ON orders.orderid = orderlines.orderid
INNER JOIN users ON orderlines.userid = users.userid
GROUP BY orderlines.userid, YEAR(order.date), MONTH(order.date)
ORDER BY users.name, orders.date
I'm feeling I'm very close...
Current output is:
name | number | month | year
----------------------------
jeff | 1000 | 1 | 2018
jeff | 1100 | 2 | 2018
Should be:
name | number | month | year
----------------------------
jeff | 100 | 1 | 2018
jeff | 110 | 2 | 2018
The number currently shown is the number of order lines, but I would like it to be the number of orders.

Try below: you need to use users.name in group by, also it should be in your order by clause as your question says it, another thing is as you want to know the count of order per user, so it should be count distinct orderid
SELECT users.name, COUNT(distinct orders.orderid), MONTH(orders.date), YEAR(orders.date)
FROM orders
INNER JOIN orderlines ON orders.orderid = orderlines.orderid
INNER JOIN users ON order lines.userid = users.userid
GROUP BY users.name, YEAR(order.date), MONTH(order.date)
ORDER BY users.name
