Sorting by date & time in descending order?

Question

all I want to display last 5 entered data for specific id. My sql query is,

SELECT id, name, form_id, DATE(updated_at) as date
  FROM wp_frm_items

If you want the last 5 rows, ordered in ascending order, you need a subquery:

SELECT *
FROM
    ( SELECT id, name, form_id, DATE(updated_at) AS updated_date, updated_at
      FROM wp_frm_items
      WHERE user_id = 11 
        AND form_id=9
      ORDER BY updated_at DESC
      LIMIT 5
    ) AS tmp
ORDER BY updated_at

After reading the question for 10th time, this may be (just maybe) what you want. Order by Date descending and then order by time (on same date) ascending:

SELECT id, name, form_id, DATE(updated_at) AS updated_date
FROM wp_frm_items
WHERE user_id = 11 
  AND form_id=9
ORDER BY DATE(updated_at) DESC
       , updated_at ASC
