Just do:

SELECT * FROM thetable ORDER BY yourfieldyouwanttoorder

If you want it in reverse order you add DESC in the end.

That's not what you asked.  You asked how to do it with your query, 
which has nothing, nadda, zip to do with PHP.  You want MySQL to do the 
sorting, look at the MySQL manual under the select syntax, or ask on the 
MySQL list.  You want PHP to do the sorting, look at PHP's array 
functions; however, it'd be more efficient to go the MySQL route.
