"Select * from categories order by cat_id desc"

select * from mytable limit 10 order by id desc

[ryan_vietnow]

Ooh,I didn't see the last 10 thing.anyway,here it goes:

"Select * from categories order by cat_id desc limit 10"

to fatihpiristine:
dude,the order by must come first before the limit thing.

i know... i put it there to give some idea.
dont have to work right
