I have the following records that I get from a query, the fields are date type in day/month/year format:

-------------------------------------
Initial           Final
Date            Date
-------------------------------------
27/08/2012   04/09/2012
29/08/2012   09/09/2012
28/08/2012   09/09/2012
30/08/2012   09/09/2012
30/08/2012   09/09/2012
27/08/2012   09/09/2012
31/08/2012   09/09/2012
28/08/2012   10/09/2012
05/09/2012   16/09/2012

As you can see, this result is ordered by Final Date. What I need is to get the last 5 records only. If I use the LIMIT 5 clause I get the first 5. I have tried an ORDEY BY DESC but the result is the same. I will very much appreciate your comments.

Respectfully,
Jorge Maldonado
