So, ordering by 1, thus by Reply.NoThread, in DESC, would give the most recent ones as NoThread is the Thread.Numero reference, which is the primary key. Or, is it that ORDER BY 1 serves for no use in SQL Server and that I would have to use ORDER BY Reply.NoThread?

I think it works OK in SQL Server, but better to use field names. I got confused myself - thanks to Tracy for setting me straight.

BTW, out of curiosity, can you compare your query with mine and tell which one is faster?
