Display Last x Posts in Ascending Order?

    I’m trying to display the last 20 posts on a particular page and <?php query_posts(‘cat=3&posts_per_page=20’); ?> does this. But how can I display them in reverse order, so the oldest is at the bottom?

    If I use <?php query_posts(‘cat=3&posts_per_page=20&order=ASC’); ?> this reverses the order but displays the first 20 posts, not the most recent 20.

    Help!

    I think this works:

    <?php
$myposts = get_posts('cat=3&showposts=20');
if ($myposts) {
$uc=array();
  foreach ($myposts as $mypost) {
    $uc[]=$mypost->ID;
    }
  }
    $args=array(
      'post__in' => $uc,
      'orderby' => 'post_date',
      'order' => 'ASC',
      'posts_per_page' => 20,
      'caller_get_posts' => 1
    );
    $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
    if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
      echo 'Category 3, lastest posts, sorted oldest to newest';
      while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
        <p><small><?php the_time('m.d.y') ?> </small><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
       <?php
      endwhile;
    } //if ($my_query)
  wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

    [edit]
