order=ASC – but most recent?

    I am working with REINtn.org right now.

    One of the leaders brought up a desire to have the “featured” area on the home page (left side, under the FCG) be in Ascending order … or in this case, the oldest post first, but still the most recent 5.

    Any ideas?

    In looking at the code I threw in an “&order=ASC” yet that caused the posts shown to start with the oldest, and not the most recent 5.

    I have a feeling that I know a way, but it involves a lot of coding and juggling multiple arrays and I would hope there is a quick and easy way.

    Help.

    esmi – your post is not useful to me.

    wanna explain how that page really tells me how to pull the most recent 5 posts from a category, yet display them with the olderst first to the newest?

    chinmoy – &order=DESC is the default … I am wanting something other then the default.

    Here is an example

    post 1
    post 2
    post 3
    post 4
    post 5
    post 6
    post 7
    post 8

    Where Post 1 is the oldest ….

    What we want is oldest first – but the most recent five:
    or
    it to show like this:

    post 4
    post 5
    post 6
    post 7
    post 8

    Here are results for things I have attempted:
    &order=DESC =
    post 8
    post 7
    post 6
    post 5
    post 4

    &order=ASC = and &orderby=id&order=ASC =
    post 1
    post 2
    post 3
    post 4
    post 5

    &orderby=id&order=DESC = and &orderby=date&order=DESC =
    post 8
    post 7
    post 6
    post 5
    post 4
