You'll need to do

SELECT.... ORDER BY .... DESC LIMIT 100

from an edit window - there's no "built-in" way of doing it from a menu
item.

The definition of "first" and "last" is always going to be
situation-dependent in any case... I think the the menu item does it
based on the primary key, and your specific needs may differ.
