Mysql reverse order

[c_pattle]

When you make a mysql query the results are always returned with the first being the first entry in the database.  I was wondering if there is a way to make it so that the last entry is returned first and so on?  Thanks for any help.

ORDER BY column_name ASC

 

ORDER BY column_name DESC

 

ASC = Ascending Order; DESC = Descending Order

You can also limit the amount shown...for whatever reasons. An example would look like

"SELECT * FROM players ORDER BY level DESC LIMIT 0, 10;"; 

  to have top 10 descending order by level as variable.
