I have tried this. select * from stuff order by score / votes DESC limit 10 This does not seem to work. I have also tried; select * from stuff order by exp(score / votes) DESC limit 10 with no success, any ideas on how to do this? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
