Lynne is correct. Your clauses are out of order. In addition, I would add that the query you provided is extremely vulnerable to SQL injection attacks--and DB errors if an ID isn't passed. You should consider using vbulletin's internal functions for fetching passed parameters. Example:

PHP Code:

// Additionally using intval, because I am not 100% sure var is set to 0 by vbulletin if no parameter was passed.
$myID = intval($vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'id', TYPE_INT));

$featured = $db->query_read("
    SELECT title2,picture2,catid2 
    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "tabeladva 
    where number = $myID
    ORDER BY views2 desc 
    LIMIT 5"

);
