Question

Fellow coders, i have a table that contains a number of rows each with a date column. I would like to select the last 6 most recent rows. I can do that like this:

SELECT * 
  FROM `Stats` 
  WHERE `ProjectID` = ?
  ORDER BY `StatsDate` DESC
  LIMIT 6

This returns the rows I need but they are returned in DESC date order. What I want is the last 6 rows in ASC date order. How can I re-sort the output of the SELECT? Any ideas?

thanks

SELECT * 
FROM (

  FROM `Stats` 
  WHERE `ProjectID` = ?
  ORDER BY `StatsDate` DESC
  LIMIT 6
) s
ORDER BY s.StatsDate
