That's because your DATE which you've made with DATE_FORMAT is treated as string. To fix it, I'd write: > SELECT DATE_FORMAT(DATE, '%M %D, %Y') AS DATE, Title, Links, Summary FROM > news WHERE TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(DATE) <=5 ORDER BY DATE DESC SELECT DATE_FORMAT(DATE, '%M %D, %Y') AS DATE_DSP, DATE, Title, Links, Summary FROM news WHERE TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(DATE) <=5 ORDER BY DATE DESC This way, you can display the "nicely" formated date in DATE_DSP and still got a "good" copy of date around.

Your alias and column name are the same. Which one do you think is being tested? Also DATE is a reserved word.
