Re: SELECT rows from multiple tables and order all by last added
Thankyou Egor Sorting by the auto_increment_column does return rows in the order they were added but I cant get it to do it for two tables. UNION may work but I am running ver 3.23.53a so UNION is not available is there another way to do this in SQL or is it a job for the PHP code to sort the results of two queries? Thanks list for your patience.
