Yes. And I of course tested before I posted. I also tried
ORDER BY category in ('cat1','cat2'), category
which worked.
I'm running 3.23.36 on debian linux.
Well, actually, rather than create a new table, I used an existing one.
The actual statement was
select last_name from mizpah where first_name like 'fr%' order by
last_name = 'crosby', last_name;
