newbie sql question re: subqueries, order by, and limit

Hello all:

Witness my latest SQL trainwreck:

SELECT uid, title FROM temptbl WHERE msgid NOT IN ( SELECT msgid FROM
temptbl ORDER BY msgid DESC LIMIT 50 );

temptbl contains the data for a simple messageboard. The idea for this
query is to get all entries in tmptbl except the 50 newest ones (msgid
autoincrements). There's no special point to this excercise; it's just
something I thougt I'd try.

Problem is, in the psql shell, I get this reply:

ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "order"

Why is this happening? How can I fix it? Once again, I get the feeling
that I'm doing this the Wrong Way. What would be the Right Way to take
care of this task?

Thanks a lot,
--Tom
