Sql help! PLease!!

right on my affiliates script how can i show all the affiliates after a certain id number? the sql query right now is

PHP Code:

---

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM affiliates ORDER BY total DESC"); // makes a query to database to table "affiliates" and orders it by total descending

while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) { // while loop While you are connected to the database do this... 


---

how can i modify it so say, i only want to show all the affiliates after the affiliate id 4? any help anybody?

try putting a 4 where it says total

that just makes the one with the id 4 go at the end!
