I have the MySQL table ID, username, points.

I am trying to order the table by points (several users can have the same amount of points), however: I am trying to only have the entries before a certain ID. So, if the query first makes an ordered table, I would like to have all its entries, sorted, but stop at ID = ’40’, because I’m only interested at the players who are ordered higher (not necessarily better, they can have the same amount of points) than the player #40.

If it is, then how is it possible?

EDIT: No, I do NOT want to limit the query results to 40 rows, for I do not know how many players are better than player #40. I only want the query to stop at the entry with ID=40, NOT with row_number=40.

EDIT 2: Problem is: the players with more points than player #40 can still have higher IDs, which is why it’s not possible to just say WHERE ID <= 40.

EDIT 3:

enter image description here

Seeing this picture, I simply want the results from player him until player jackpot, ALTHOUGH player friend has the same amount of points as jackpot has. Is that possible somehow? The names are arbitrary, by the way, I just didn’t think of any better usernames.

    If I understand you question correct, you are looking for a list of players who have more points than the point value of player at id 40.

    If so:

    SELECT * FROM table WHERE points > (SELECT b.points FROM table b WHERE
    b.ID = ’40’) ORDER BY points DESC
