I can't really see anything wrong with what you have there. It shouldn't
matter that your SQL is inside the query function, although I like to build the
query in a variable outside the query function, but either way it should work.
And you're obviously getting data and not an error, right?
What happens if you leave the "DESC" off? Does it come back 4, 3, 2, 1? or
still 1, 2, 3, 4?
You might try displaying more data from the result set to see if there's some
other issue.
And have you tested the SQL statement just using MySQL via command line,
phpMyAdmin, WinSQL, Navicat, or something like that?

= = = Original message = = =
Sorry, this seams very trivial but I can not sort the result set for any
field. What am I doing wrong?
php & mySQL 5
<?php
...
$table_name ='users';
// Select records
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table_name ORDER BY rowID DESC");
// Loop through the record set
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
print 'rowID =' .$row['rowID']. '<br />'
?>
1
2
3
4
