1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Answer 1

DISTINCT applies to the entire row of data. Since the ID is different on each row, then you will end up with duplicate titles.

If you need the ID, then you could use an aggregate to get the MAX(ID):

select max(id) id,
  title
from yourtable
group by title
order by id
