mysql - count records after ORDER BY

Question

I have the code to count records but unable to add order by before it.

Two tables are joined and I added the code to count records. The issue is that I want to first ORDER BY SN and assign cnt after?

My code is:

Tables

 create table rot (
            code int(10) primary key,
            PN varchar(10) not null,
        SN varchar(10) not null,
            LocID int(10) not null);

    insert into rot values (1,'T1','T1SN1','1');
    insert into rot values (2,'A1','A1SN1','2');
    insert into rot values (3,'J1','J1SN1','3');
    insert into rot values (4,'A2','A2SN1','1');
    insert into rot values (5,'J2','J2SN1','2');
    insert into rot values (6,'A3','A3SN1','3');
    insert into rot values (7,'J3','J3SN1','4');
    insert into rot values (8,'T1','T1SN2','5');
    insert into rot values (9,'A1','A1SN2','1');
    insert into rot values (10,'J2','J2SN2','3');
    insert into rot values (11,'J2','J2SN3','4');
    insert into rot values (12,'A1','A1SN3','3');
    insert into rot values (13,'J2','J2SN4','5');

    create table loc(
        code1 int(10) primary key,
        LocVar varchar(10) not null);

    insert into loc values (1,'AAA');
    insert into loc values (2,'BBB');
    insert into loc values (3,'CCC');
    insert into loc values (4,'DDD');
    insert into loc values (5,'EEE');

Cnt code:

SELECT * FROM rot
JOIN loc ON rot.code = loc.code1

JOIN (
            SELECT t1.code, count(*) cnt FROM (
                SELECT distinct code
                FROM rot ts1 
            JOIN loc tx1 ON ts1.code = tx1.code1 

) t1 
JOIN (
    SELECT distinct code
                FROM rot ts2
            JOIN loc tx2 ON ts2.code = tx2.code1

    ) t2 on t1.code <= t2.code 
    group by t1.code 

) tt ON rot.code = tt.code

Results:

+------+----+-------+-------+-------+--------+------+-----+
| code | PN | SN    | LocID | code1 | LocVar | code | cnt |
+------+----+-------+-------+-------+--------+------+-----+
|    2 | A1 | A1SN1 |     2 |     2 | BBB    |    2 |   4 |
|    4 | A2 | A2SN1 |     1 |     4 | DDD    |    4 |   2 |
|    3 | J1 | J1SN1 |     3 |     3 | CCC    |    3 |   3 |
|    5 | J2 | J2SN1 |     2 |     5 | EEE    |    5 |   1 |
|    1 | T1 | T1SN1 |     1 |     1 | AAA    |    1 |   5 |
+------+----+-------+-------+-------+--------+------+-----+

Desired results

+------+----+-------+-------+-------+--------+------+-----+
| code | PN | SN    | LocID | code1 | LocVar | code | cnt |
+------+----+-------+-------+-------+--------+------+-----+
|    2 | A1 | A1SN1 |     2 |     2 | BBB    |    2 |   1 |
|    4 | A2 | A2SN1 |     1 |     4 | DDD    |    4 |   2 |
|    3 | J1 | J1SN1 |     3 |     3 | CCC    |    3 |   3 |
|    5 | J2 | J2SN1 |     2 |     5 | EEE    |    5 |   4 |
|    1 | T1 | T1SN1 |     1 |     1 | AAA    |    1 |   5 |
+------+----+-------+-------+-------+--------+------+-----+

I just wonder where to place ORDER BY? In my code I am unable to assign variables and the code must start with SELECT.

If MySQL 8.0 you could use ROW_NUMBER:

SELECT *, rot.code, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY SN) AS cnt
FROM rot
JOIN loc ON rot.code = loc.code1
ORDER BY SN;
