Question

I want to sort posts by entry_date decreasing order. Some of posts can be in active so I want to sort like active posts should come first based on entry date.

So output should be like below:

id  post          entry_date       status
1   abc..         15-april-2012    1
5   xyz           12-april-2012    1 
2   art...        14-april-2012    0

How to sort like this ?
