I want to pull all records except the TOP 10 in my statement but I keep running into problems when using ORDER BY in my subquery “Incorrect Syntax near the keyword ORDER”

@ID INT
as
SELECT ComVID, VID, MID, Ucomment, UdateAdded, MemberId, UserName, Avatar

FROM table.miComments JOIN table.mbrProfile2 ON MID = MemberId 

WHERE VID = @ID EXCEPT (SELECT ComVID, VID, MID, Ucomment, UdateAdded, MemberId, UserName, Avatar FROM table.miComments JOIN table.mbrProfile2 ON MID = MemberId 
WHERE VID = @ID ORDER BY UdateAdded DESC) 'ERROR: Incorrect Syntax near the keyword ORDER'

ORDER BY UdateAdded DESC

    If you’re using MS SQL Server, there is no LIMIT or OFFSET equivalent, so you’d have to use a subquery to accomplish what you want.

    SELECT ComVID, VID, MID, Ucomment, UdateAdded, MemberId, UserName, Avatar 
FROM table.miComments 
JOIN table.mbrProfile2 ON MID = MemberId  
WHERE VID = @ID AND ComVID NOT IN (
   SELECT TOP 10 ComVID
   FROM table.miComments 
   JOIN table.mbrProfile2 ON MID = MemberId  
   WHERE VID = @ID ORDER BY UdateAdded DESC)  
ORDER BY UdateAdded DESC

    The following StackOverflow link has a lot more information in it, which may be helpful:
