Hi folks,
I have a MySQL table that stores (amongst other things) a persons date of birth.

Is there any way to sort the table so the next due birthday is at the top?

I have the date stored in standard yyyy-mm-dd DATE format and seperate year, month and day fields so I can sort it by the first birthday of the year (ORDER BY month, day) but I can't seem to get any further.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
