among other things, contains a customer_id field and a total for the amount 
purchased on the particular invoice. Now what I'd like to do is to calculate 
the total invoices for each customer in a given time interval, then list 
those customers in descending order from most paying to least paying. Could 
someone give me some pointers on how to construct an sql statement that would 
flush out this data.


First, lets see how to get the info you want:
SELECT sum(invoice) AS total, customer_id FROM cart 
        GROUP BY cuotomer_id;

Now you can order it by the total column, and maybe give it a LIMIT, in case 
you have to many costumers. :-)
