System.QueryException: unexpected token: 10

This is my controller :

public class ContactsListController{

 private string sortOrder = 'LastName';
 
 public List<Contact> getContacts(){
 
  string soqlQuery = 'SELECT Id, FirstName, LastName, Title, Email'+ 'from Contacts'+ 'OrderBy' + sortOrder 
                          + 'ASC' + 'LIMIT 10' ;
  
  List<Contact> results = Database.query(soqlQuery);
  return results;
  
 }                         

}



And this is my visualforce page :

<apex:page controller="ContactsListController" >
  <apex:form >
   <apex:pageBlock title="Contacts List" id="Contacts_list">
   
    <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!Contacts}" var="ct">
    <apex:column value="{!ct.FirstName}"/>
    <apex:column value="{!ct.LastName}"/>
    <apex:column value="{!ct.Title}"/>
    <apex:column value="{!ct.Email}"/>
    
    </apex:pageBlockTable>
  
   </apex:pageBlock>
  </apex:form>
</apex:page>


I'm getting an error "System.QueryException: unexpected token: 10 " while saving the above vf page. Please help.

If you print your quey it will be like below:
SELECT Id, FirstName, LastName, Title, Emailfrom ContactsOrderByLastNameASCLIMIT 10
If you observe this carefully you can see spaces are missing. Take care of space after each word.
'OrderBy' should  be 'Order By'.

I believe you are trying to query standard object Contact. Change 'Contacts' to 'Contact'

Hope this helps :)

        'LIMIT 10'

Actually your error was very very simple: a space missing!
Change your query: 
string soqlQuery = 'SELECT Id, FirstName, LastName, Title, Email'+ 'from Contacts'+ 'OrderBy' + sortOrder 
                          + 'ASC' + 'LIMIT 10' ;

with the following and it will work properly.
string soqlQuery = 'SELECT Id, FirstName, LastName, Title, Email '+ ' from Contacts '+ ' OrderBy ' + sortOrder 
                          + ' ASC ' + ' LIMIT 10 ' ;

Your code was "almost" right. :)
