In a slight change of this question (since I have no data to currently test
this with, as my ISP is using too old a version of mysql), does anyone know
what something like this would do?
SELECT * FROM theTable ORDER BY RAND(), date LIMIT 5;
I'd like to be able to pull out a certain number of rows, randomly, and then
sort them by date (or another field). Or is there a way to sort the rows
AFTER they are put through LIMIT? (sort of like how HAVING is to WHERE)
Thanks,
Chris
