PHP/MySQL please help?

[Timbuktu]

the query below does NOT sort date properly either by asc (the default) or desc:

"select Title, date_format(Date, '%d %M, %Y') as Date from Table1 order by Date";

i wish to have things like: June 30, June 15, May 24 etc, to show latest articles first.

what to do?

zank you.
fps_dean: thanks for input; the date is set in mySQL as 0000-00-00 (Year, month, day) and then i format it using the date_format function. My problem is with sorting, it does not show the latest articles first.
