I have a query that counts comments and all is well with it. But I'd like add a ranking column to the display. The problem is that it uses tablesort, so the ranking has to be in the query because I don't know which column will be used to sort the display. Oh, it is also paged so I can't count on the first row being #1 and so on. Has anyone got an idea on how to add a ranking column to the query? (MySql only.)

Nancy, here's a query that returns a nid, and it's row position:

SELECT @row := @row + 1 as row, n.nid FROM node n, (SELECT @row := 0) r;

You can start from there.
