1. How do I put in todays date into a mySQL field? ie., I can get todays date via `date`, but how do I convert it to the weird mySQL format?
2. How do I replace a particular piece of data - eg a field say - "no. of pizzas sold today" - 1, when another one gets sold, it should become "2" ?
3. How do I sort a table by the number of entries there are of a particlar piece of data? eg, if this is my table

   ---

  team | matchwon | datewon | timeswon

Lakers		Superbowl       2000/5/3		3
Muggles		Slamdunk	3003/4/12		2
Muggles		Superbowl	4002/2/2		1
Ballhedz	HotMatch	3000/4/11		2

, when I run whatever SELECT function, I want this to show up:

---

Muggles

---

Ballhedz

---

Lakers

---

How do I do that?

Thanks for all your replies,

SMF.
