Pawn Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 This question must have been asked before, but my inept use of the search function can't seem to find an appropriate answer. Feel free to answer with a link.I'm displaying MySQL table results using a while loop to generate news on my homepage, [a href=\"http://www.superlatenight.com\" target=\"_blank\"]superlatenight.com[/a]. Currently rows display in the order which they were added. Of course, I'd like the most recent news to display first. How's this done?Thanks in advance.[b]Edit:[/b] So yeah I'm a moron. ORDER BY. Sorry for the time wasting.[b]Edit2:[/b] Do I need to make the field DATETIME in order to correctly sort two news entries posted on the same date? Considering I won't want the output in its default 0000:00:00 0000:00:00 (I prefer the English DD-MM-YY), am I better off using a less specific column type?

AndyB Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 [code] $query = "SELECT whatever FROM wherever ORDER by date DESC";[/code]depends on the date format you're using ... which is guess is yyyy-mm-dd so it's sortable without messing around Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/8893-sorting-results/#findComment-32623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
