Order results to match the order of values in a WHERE IN expression

Question

Is there a way I can make mysql return results from a Member database by the order I ask it by in the WHERE command?

SELECT * 
FROM Members 
WHERE MemberID = \"6         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

SELECT * FROM Members
ORDER BY CASE MemberId
    WHEN 6 THEN 1
    WHEN 3 THEN 2
    WHEN 5 THEN 3
    ELSE 999
END
