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 selecting the data using 3 UNION ALL queries:

SELECT * FROM Members WHERE MemberID = "6"
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM Members WHERE MemberId = "3"
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM Members WHERE MemberID = "5"

or maybe you need to simply add a new column to hold the sort order ?
