Limit and order by a mysql_query - mysql

Question

The below script works fairly well to insert different rss feeds into a mysql dbase, echoeing out a few items on a website. But when I try to order and limit in 'mysql_query' things stop to work. I suspect ORDER BY and LIMIT have been placed into the wrong position, but the only possibility I see is to place them into mysql_query. Anybody who knows?
$feeds = array('https://www.ictu.nl/rss.xml', 'http://www.vng.nl/smartsite.dws?id=97817');
foreach( $feeds as $feed ) {
$xml = simplexml_load_file($feed);
foreach($xml->channel->item as $item)
{
$date_format = "j-n-Y"; // 7-7-2008
echo date($date_format,strtotime($item->pubDate));
echo ' ';
echo ' ';
echo ''.$item->title.'';
echo '<div>' . $item->description . '<br><br></div>';
mysql_query("INSERT INTO rss_feeds (id, title, description, link, pubdate)
VALUES (
'',
'".mysql_real_escape_string($item->title)."',
'".mysql_real_escape_string($item->description=htmlspecialchars(trim($item->description)))."',
'".mysql_real_escape_string($item->link)."',
'".mysql_real_escape_string($item->pubdate)."')")ORDER BY 'title' LIMIT 0,10;
}
}

Answer 1

ORDER BY and LIMIT are not used with INSERT statements, they need to be used with SELECT statements.

Answer 2

I am not sure about the mysql_query and the notation. Still something wrong.
$selSQL = SELECT * FROM rss-feeds ORDER BY 'title';
$insSQL = "INSERT INTO 'rss_feeds' (id, title, description, link, pubdate)
VALUES (
'',
'".mysql_real_escape_string($item->title)."',
'".mysql_real_escape_string($item->description=htmlspecialchars(trim($item->description)))."',
'".mysql_real_escape_string($item->link)."',
'".mysql_real_escape_string($item->pubdate)."');
$selres = mysql_query($selsql);
$insRes = mysql_query($insSQL);

Answer 3

Don't use single quote around column names, if anything use ` to wrap column names. You also didn't have quotes around your $selSQL, see below and try it:
$selSQL = "SELECT * FROM `rss-feeds` ORDER BY `title`";
$insSQL = "INSERT INTO `rss_feeds` (`id`, `title`, `description`, `link`, `pubdate`)
VALUES (
'',
'".mysql_real_escape_string($item->title)."',
'".mysql_real_escape_string($item->description=htmlspecialchars(trim($item->description)))."',
'".mysql_real_escape_string($item->link)."',
'".mysql_real_escape_string($item->pubdate)."')";
$selres = mysql_query($selsql);
$insRes = mysql_query($insSQL);
