order by an alias?

I have problems with the following sql query:

SELECT c.CarNr, c.Make, c.OutTo, c.OutOn, (t.Date - c.OutOn)+1 AS Days, c.Cost, Days * c.Cost AS Total
FROM Cars c, Today t
WHERE c.OutOn <> null
ORDER BY Total Asc


I get the error: Too few parameters. Expected 1. If I try to order by c.Cost it works.

Is there a problem with ordering on an alias? It seems like it doesn't find it.. I hope someone can help me

It dident work, but it helped to get the solution Days is also an alias so I had to something like this:

SELECT c.CarNr, c.Make, c.OutTo, c.OutOn, (t.Date - c.OutOn)+1 AS Days, c.Cost, Days * c.Cost AS Total
FROM Cars c, Today t
WHERE c.OutOn <> null
ORDER BY (((t.Date - c.OutOn)+1) * c.Cost) Asc


I guess there is a problem with ordering on an alias..

You can't order with aliases, only field names.
