Hey Mike,

Sounds like you would be better of with an ENUM of integers, e.g. ENUM(-1,1,2,3) where -1 stands for to be started, 1 for started and so on.
To answer your question:
ORDER BY `status` = 'to be started', `status` = 'started', `status` = 'finished', `status` = 'canceled'

Hello everybody,

I got a small problem with ordering on en ENUM field. The values in this field are:
- to be started
- started
- finished
- canceled

And i want to order on this field, but in the direction the are above here (and not alpabetically).
Is that possible?

- Mike
