If you want to sort a column in descending order, you can specify the DESC keyword in the ORDER BY clause. The following SELECT statement first sorts the "tag" in descending order, then sorts the "counts" in ascending order:

mysql> SELECT tag, counts, url, DATE(created) 
   FROM fyi_links ORDER BY tag DESC, counts;
+------+--------+-------------------+---------------+
| tag  | counts | url               | DATE(created) |
+------+--------+-------------------+---------------+
