You can use anything!  Date DESC (most recent first), Name (assuming
that the name is in the table), Phone number... anything.

It really depends on the application, what the visitor wants (or needs)
to see.

A sideways look at that concept - I have some applications where things
are listed - hotels, businesses, etc.  Some people complain that they
are not at the top of the list, that their competition is higher than
them.  So, I take the description field, or perhaps their email address,
and list the businesses in the order of the 5th letter of their email
address!  Because it's the 5th month of the year.  Next month, the 6th
month of the year, they will be in the order of 6th letter.  So this
month, you would be near the top of the list, as your 5th letter is '@'
(which comes before all the letters).  Next month you would be near the
bottom, as your 6th letter is 'w'.  So it is fair, and appears random to
the advertisers.

The purpose of this example is to say - show in any order your visitor
wants!
