Hello, I have a list of id's that I need to sort and fetch. eg; 1,3,6,5,4,3,4,5,6,7,5,4,2 Select id >From table Order By id Asc; it becomes like: 1,2,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,5,6,6,7 What can I add to the above sql statement so that is fetches the specified id first in a sorted list? eg: if ($specified_id=5); I want: 5,5,5,1,2,3,3,4,4,4,6,6,7 I could have done it in two different sql statements where one fetches specified_id and the other fetches and sorts others, but I want to be able to do it in one sql statement to reduce time. Any ideas? Thank you! - Bernie
