How can I limit the result after the "order by" has

Select * from mytable ORDER by total desc limit 0, 100

Must this be done in PHP?


Perhaps you could tell us what you DO intend? Because the statement above does indeed limit the results to the highest 100 totals - the limit is done after the order by.
