Can I combine these 2 queries into 1?

[Admin]

PHP Code:

$top = $DB_site->query_first('
    SELECT user.userid, username, field10
    FROM user
    LEFT JOIN userfield USING (userid)
    ORDER BY field10 DESC
'); 


Then use $top[userid] for user ID, $top[username] for username, and $top[field10] for the value of field 10.

(Just so you know, the original code had LIMIT 5 but I removed that since we are using query_first() anyway. If you want to get the top 5, you'll need some different code. But the code above does exactly the same thing your original code did.)
