This is only supported in versions 4 and above - if you're using 3.23 you
can get away with LIMIT in your update queries, but not ORDER BY.

The UPDATE command does not seem to support the ORDER BY part despite it
being listed in the instructions on the mysql.com website. Is there any
workaround to this that anybody knows of?
Thanks in advance for your help. :o)
