See my other most recent reply; you can do it in two queries: CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE Top100 SELECT * ... limit 0,100; SELECT * FROM Top100 ORDER BY ...; The temporary table ceases to exist after you finish your connection, so you don't usually have to worry about cleanup for short-lived programs (like PHP). -- Michael T.
