order-by

Take this simple query:

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(someDate, '%y-%m-%d') as formattedDay FROM someTable GROUP BY formatterDay

This will select rows from a table with only 1 row per date.
How do I ensure that the row selected per date is the earliest for that date, without doing an ordered subquery in the FROM?

Cheers
