MySQL Order before Group by

Question

I need to find the latest post for each author and then group the results so I only a single latest post for each author.

SELECT wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts
            


        

Answer 1

What do you think about this?? Seems to work for me

SELECT wp_posts.post_author, MAX(wp_posts.post_date), wp_posts.status, wp_posts.post_type
FROM wp_posts
    WHERE wp_posts.post_status='publish'
    AND wp_posts.post_type='post'
    GROUP BY wp_posts.post_author

It brings me all the Authors with the most updated post_date ... Do you identify a problem there?? I don't
