I would probably code it like this, probably not the only way but should work based on what I believe you are trying to achieve. Please make sure to add the "order by" to your SQL query as well.

echo "";
$query2 = "SELECT mods.mid, ayr, mtitle, credits FROM stud, smod, mods WHERE stud.sid = '".$_POST['stuNo']."' and stud.sid = smod.sid and smod.mid = mods.mid ORDER BY ayr DESC";

$result = mysql_query($query2) or die(mysql_error());

echo "Enrollment and Progress";
echo "";
echo "";
$year = "";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    if ($year != $row["ayr"]) {
       echo "";
       $year = $row["ayr"];
    }
    echo "";
    echo "";
    echo "";
    echo "";
    echo "";
}
echo "
Module Selection
" . $row["ayr"] . "
" . $row["mid"] . "
" . $row["mtitle"] . "
" . $row["credits"] . "
";
