MySQL and in-game ranking systems

In order to determine the order that users are ranked in, this query is used: CODE SELECT username FROM user_stats ORDER BY army_size DESC On a user's overview page, they should be able to see what rank they are. However, I can't for the life of me figure out how to figure out their rank. Is there a way to determine what rank a specific user ID would have, in the context of the query above? Thanks, Girasquid
