You need to provide a bit more info, is this a certain guestbook script you're using, or did you write it yourself? Can you post the code of the part which prints out the messages?

How do you store your data? Do you write it into files or database?

if files, use rsort() function to reverse the array of your data..

if database, make sure you have query like this (just for example): SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY input_date DESC.

DESC means descending order

Hey there in the first place thank you very much in the first place, for the info you gave me,

I am using a script and i am storing the info into a .txt file this is what the script looks like:
U can have a look at the page itself www.doggpound.net/guestbook.php

<?
if ($POST["post"])
{
if ($POST["name"]=="")
{
}else{
$file=fopen("guestbook.txt", "a+");
$today = date("F j, Y, A");
$entry="Posted on: ";
$entry.=$today;
$entry.="\n";
$entry.="Name: ";
$entry.=$POST["name"];
$entry.="\n";
$entry.="Email: ";
$entry.="<a href='mailto:";
$entry.=$POST["email"];
$entry.="'>";
$entry.=$POST["email"];
$entry.="</a>";
$entry.="\n";
$entry.="Comments: ";
$entry.=$POST["comments"];
$entry.="\n";
$entry.="\n";
$entry.="\n";
$entry=stripslashes($entry);
fwrite($file,$entry);
fclose($file);
}
}
if ($POST["post"])
{
if ($POST["name"]=="")
{
echo "At least give your name";
}}else{
$file=fopen("guestbook.txt", "r");
$size=filesize("guestbook.txt");
$contents=fread($file, $size);
$contents=nl2br($contents);
fclose($file);
}
?></p>
<form action="guestbook.php" method="POST">
<p align="center">
Name::<input type="text" name="name"><br>
Email::<input type="text" name="email"><br>
Comments::<Textarea cols=50 rows=5 name="comments"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" name="post" value="Sign">
&nbsp;<br><br>
<?$file=fopen("guestbook.txt", "r");
$size=filesize("guestbook.txt");
$contents=fread($file, $size);
$contents=nl2br($contents);
echo "Guestbook is currently $size bytes";?><br><br>
