You rely on the list to much for simple questions. SELECT * FROM ads ORDER BY createdate DESC ---John Holmes... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Simple MySQL. After your ORDER BY clause use either ASC (I think this is the default) or DESC. I'm pretty sure this'll work on date fields to produce the results you want. Your query will end up looking like: ...order by createdate DESC -Original Message- From: Addison Ellis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2003 5:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] date: reverse order hello, when retrieving data from the db and displaying it on the page by creation date how can i reverse the order so that the most recent entry appears first? here's what i have now: ? require(config.php); $obj = mysql_db_query($dbname,select * from ads order by createdate); ? thank you addison -- Addison Ellis small independent publishing co. 114 B 29th Avenue North Nashville, TN 37203 (615) 321-1791 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] subsidiaries of small independent publishing co.
