Select last N rows from MySQL
Solution 1:
You can do it with a sub-query:
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 50
) sub
ORDER BY id ASC
This will select the last 50 rows from table, and then order them in ascending order.
Solution 2:
SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 50
save resources make one query, there is no need to make nested queries
