Hi - I have the following code:

//show table of current events needing action
$sSql = "SELECT id FROM crm_leads ";
$sLeads = pg_exec($conn,$sSql);
for($e=0;$e<pg_numrows($sLeads);$e++){
$sSql = "SELECT * FROM crm_events WHERE crm_leads_id =
".pg_result($sLeads,$e,"id")." AND follow_up_action!='' ORDER BY
follow_up_date asc limit 1";
$sRes = pg_exec($conn,$sSql);
$sHits = pg_numrows($sRes);
if($sHits!=0){
for($i=0;$i<$sHits;$i++){
// generate the display here
}
}

crm_leads is a parent with many crm_events as it's children.
This code gives me the correct set of rows.
My problem is that I want only the last row from crm_events (as per
limit 1) but I want those rows sorted by follow_up_date. I guess I need
to have the whole query in one select statement? But how?

Any help appreciated
Thanks
Andy Dunlop
