Sorting the result

Hi, I've come across a problem and I'm affraid that I'm lacking the skills of writing proper SQL queries in order to solve this. I'm building a little search engine for my site (yes, from scratch! It doesn't have to be the best, but I think that for my personal use it will be enough) and the bit of code I have right now is as follows: <snip> /* I'm using MySQL 3.23.37 together with 4.0.6 on a FreeBSD box */ $article_query = mysql_query("select article_name, article_text from articles where article_name LIKE '%$q%'") or die (mysql_error()); /* where $q is the search query with a space added in front */ while ($results = mysql_fetch_array($article_query)) { $art_name = $results["article_name"]; $article_text = $results["article_text"]; $q_count = substr_count($article_text, "$q"); echo "<b>$art_name</b><p>$article_text<p>"; } </snap> But what I'd like to achieve is that the results would be displayed in a way ORDER BY $q_count DESC - the entry with most $q_count would be displayed first, next one second etc. I'm sure that there is a way to sort the array with PHP, but is it also possible to let the MySQL do the job? It would save some CPU power I think... if not, what would be the easiest way to do it with PHP? TIA, Kristjan P.S. Please CC me as well, I am only on the digest.
