You can do a SORT (descending) on the autonumber field.

Kind of guessing here but...

You arrange for entries in your database to be assigned an AutoNumberID,
naturally the newest entry will have the highest number. If you create a
query in your database to display all the entries in descending order, you
should be able to create a DrumBeat query based on that query (called a view
in DB). Place a looper on your guestbook page and set the contents of the
looper recordset to hold the result of this query - the results should
display in descending order.

This sort of sounds right

Use an ORDER BY phrase in your SELECT Query

An example of this would be

SELECT * FROM GUESTBOOK ORDER BY Date DESC

Where Date is the field holding the date that the entry was submitted.
