Question

This works fine and gives me the most recent results back:

SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY date ASC;

But when I put a limit on it to reduce the results to just 10 of the most recent, it doesn’t give me the most recent results:

SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY date ASC LIMIT 30;

How else can I do this?

Answer 1

try

SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 10;

the DESC clause asks for records with the most recent date first. Assuming your date field is a DATETIME-style field, this should work.
