query not working properly

["Joey B" <dewebdude@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,
I'mt trying to do the below query which itself works correctly, but when I
add a order by statement just bombs.

       $query = "select * from articles where ( {$now} BETWEEN startdate
AND enddate) and categoryid = 1 limit 0,3";



        $query = "select * from articles order by startdate asc where (
{$now} BETWEEN startdate AND enddate) and categoryid = 1 limit 0,3";

This one just doesn't work, can you tell me what I have done wrong??



Thanks
