If you just want 10 records with the highest modified or created time

think this will do it:
select *

order by max(created_on,modified_on) desc
limit 10
except that if modified_on is null, you won't get that record. This
variation
should fix that problem:
SELECT *
FROM tbl
ORDER BY MAX(created_on, COALESCE(modified_on, 0)) DESC
LIMIT 10;
and so it does. Gracias. ;-)
Now I am off happily experimenting with applying other functions to
ORDER BY before ordering them.
