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 Quote Link to comment 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.

Thanks, I was trying to put the ORDER BY in a separate command. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
