rasafrasit Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 More of a strict SQL question but here it is nonetheless:I recently added a new record to a table that feeds my php-based resume. Because the key is auto increment, the new record fell to the bottom of the list but I want it to appear at the top so I bumped all the key values for the existing records and set the new record to have the lowest value in the key field. However, when I refresh my url the new record appears at the bottom. Why is this? I've confirmed via phpMyAdmin and mySQL that the changes to the records took but still no love. I have also tried inserting an ORDER BY command into the php of the page itself but, again, no love. What gives? Any ideas?Thanks,rasafrasit Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/7861-order-by-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orio Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Have you tried:[!--sql--][div class=\'sqltop\']SQL[/div][div class=\'sqlmain\'][!--sql1--][span style=\'color:blue;font-weight:bold\']SELECT[/span] * [color=green]FROM[/color] [color=orange]`table`[/color] [color=green]ORDER BY[/color] id [color=green]DESC[/color] [!--sql2--][/div][!--sql3--] (When id is the column with the auto_increment) Or something else?Orio.
