I've often wondered, idly, how to get MySQL to output a row number column, which would rank sorted and grouped results.
Well thanks to this excellent post I've found out how:
SELECT *, @rownum:=@rownum+1 as rank FROM (
-- Your Query Goes in Here
SELECT t.*
FROM table t
WHERE something
group by 2,3,4
order by 1 desc limit 20
) day_rank, (SELECT @rownum:=0) r;
I know nothing, I'm not a fortune teller, and you'd be insane to think that I am. This disclaimer was cribbed from an email footer I once received. It is so ridiculous I had to have it for myself.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements include risks and uncertainties such as any unforeseen event or any unforeseen system failures, and other risks. It is important to note that actual outcomes could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements.
