Make it ASC: SELECT * FROM questions ORDER BY question_ref ASC LIMIT 1;

Or: SELECT MIN(question_ref) FROM questions;

Use ASC instead of DESC:

SELECT * FROM questions ORDER BY question_ref ASC LIMIT 1;

---

SELECT * FROM questions ORDER BY question_ref ASC LIMIT 1;

---

Using ascending rather than descending ordering should do the trick: SELECT * FROM questions ORDER BY question_ref ASC LIMIT 1;
