Scott, can you just do it by sorting your query, then limiting the results to 10?
ie. SELECT * FROM tables WHERE somthing='1' ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 10 should sort highest -> lowest date (ie most recent, backwards) and give you the top 10 results. then if you have the option of flipping thru blocks of 10 results you can just change the last bit to LIMIT x,10 WHERE x is a starting point, then 10 obviously getting the next 10 entires.
