I want to select the closest to actual forum announcement.
Only if then in this forum is more than 1 announcement, it should take newest one.

Example:
Announcement 1 (08/2008) grandparentforum > parentforum > Announcement 2 (07/2008) (actual) childforum

When I am browsing in childforum, I want to be presented with announcement 2.
Currently there's only the newest announcement 1 presented, even if the second announcement is "closer" to actual childforum.

 SELECT *
 FROM  " . TABLE_PREFIX . "announcement AS announcement 
 WHERE " . fetch_forum_clause_sql($foruminfo['forumid'], 'forumid') . " 
 ORDER BY startdate DESC, announcementid DESC

fetch_forum_clause_sql gives back a $parentlist.

So how should I rewrite this query to select announcement from closest forum from parentlist instead of newest announcement? Thanks very much.

I decided to not use this feature in my cms. So I do not need to know an answer, but I am curious how to achieve that
