Hey folks -
I have a project where I need to sort rows by an arbitrary order. I
seem to recall at some point where I was able to do some SQL like:
ORDER BY
type = "the first type",
type = "another type",
type = "yes another arbitrary type" ...
However, my arbitrary ORDER BY statements don't seem to be working on
MySQL 5.0.16.
Am I remembering correctly? I can't seem to find anything in the MySQL
manual.
