Your SQL statement can order by whatever column(s) you want:
select * from mytable order by someColumn descending
The web service (rest, json, xml etc...) will return that data. How to you plan on exposing the data to your clients?
Your iPhone app will hold the results of that request in memory in something like a NSMutableArray of objects (or some other data structure).
When you implement UITableView directly or through a UITableViewController, you have to implement the tableView delegate callback methods. The UITableView is responsible for rendering the table and it calls back on you to get the data by passing you the row index. It's up to you to return the data for that row index. If you're holding the data for example, in an NSMutableArray which was returned from from your service request which did a select and order by on the database, it will simply return the data held in the index of that NSMutableArray.
