Answer 1

Not pretty, but works

SELECT * 
,CASE WHEN BirthdayThisYear>=NOW() THEN BirthdayThisYear ELSE BirthdayThisYear + INTERVAL 1 YEAR END AS NextBirthday
FROM (
    SELECT * 
    ,birthday - INTERVAL YEAR(birthday) YEAR + INTERVAL YEAR(NOW()) YEAR AS BirthdayThisYear
    FROM bd
) AS bdv
ORDER BY NextBirthday
