Since you haven't told us your table designs, I have to guess, but something
like:

SELECT I.ItemSKU,
        I.ItemName,
        I.ItemDescription,
        I.PostCode,
        I.Category,
        I.CityID,
        I.CTelephone,
        I.ItemID,
        I.Cfax,
        I.Cemail,
        I.Caddress,
        I.CTown,
        I.Cwww,
        C.CityName
FROM items as I
    INNER JOIN city as C
        ON C.CityID = I.CityID
WHERE C.CityID='$CityID'

Your "Order By CityID" is not required, since your query only selects a
single city anyway.

I prefer formatting the query as above to make it easire to read.  For the
same reason, I also prefer to use table aliases.  With short table names
like items and city, this is not a big deal, but when the table names get
longer, the query can get obscured by the prefixes.

HTH,
Tore
