David,

I have a table of events at different locations and want to select the
newest one for each location.

Famous & oft-asked, how to retrieve a groupwise-max values. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/example-maximum-column-group-row.html

Hi,

is there any way to get datasets sorted before they're grouped by GROUP
BY()?

I have a table of events at different locations and want to select the
newest one for each location.

However "SELECT * FROM events GROUP BY location ORDER BY date DESC"
gives me just some event per location and the result sorted by date.

Thanks in advance
David

ps: please cc, I'm not on the list
