php - MySQL: order by sum -

i have article table

`id`, `article_id`, `stage_1_point`, `stage_2_point` 

i need top 10 articles based on

(stage_1_point+stage_2_point), 

in list , when view article need show place. question how can show place without using order by.

use order (stage_1_point+stage_2_point) desc

so, like

select `id`, `article_id`, `stage_1_point`, `stage_2_point` your_table order (stage_1_point+stage_2_point) desc limit 0,10 

update

as op stated, he/she needs know position of specific article.

select * (select `id`, `article_id`, `stage_1_point`, `stage_2_point`,  @currank := @currank + 1 rank your_table, (select @currank := 0) r order       (stage_1_point+stage_2_point) desc) tab `article_id`=10 

above query return rows article_id 10, have column rank tells position of article.
