I have a query I'm trying to construct on a table which contains a title and date of records. I want to sort the query so that records are listed by title with the newest dates first--keeping the records with identical titles together and order by date within the title groups.
For example: Title 2, 10-30-2001 Title 2, 10-15-2001 Title 2, 10-01-2001 Title 1, 10-20-2001 Title 1, 10-10.2001 Title 3, 10-05-2001 My attempt at SELECT title, date FROM tablename GROUP BY title, date DESC produced an appropriately grouped result set, with the titles ordered within the groups by date, BUT it put the groups in order alphabetically, whereas I'm wanting them ordered by the date of the first title in the groups. Any suggestions?
