Maq Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Your code looks fine to me. Column "posts" is an integer right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonewolf217 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 what is the data type of your "posts" column in SQL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 what do you mean? I'm talking about in the MySQL table. If posts isn't an integer, if it's a VARCHAR, then it will order alphabetically. i.e: it will put 23 after 20001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
