I'm getting back the rows that I want, but not in the correct order and 
only by using DISTINCT, which I once was told is a nono and not needed 
if I'd just do it right.
My attempt to output the columns that contain the values the reocrds are 
to get sorted on ends up in being a cartesian join, which barfs up 1248 
rows instead of the 26 I epxect.
I looked at about a dozen tutorials on the web and they all take the 
easy way out and cover joining two tables, which is trivial.

And it has nothing to do with PHP, as the query browser gives me the 
wrong results as well.

I did pop the question on the NYPHP MySQL list, but so far with only a 
few answers and no success.

I'm thankful for any additional pointers.
