I'm not familiar with "order by field" (unless field is a UDF). I know of
order by binary. Is this standard mysql syntax?

ORDER BY id(5, 34, 9, 25)
Can anyone tell me the proper syntax to accomplish this task?
ORDER BY FIELD( id, 5, 34, 9, 25 )

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to sort by a particular order:
SELECT * FROM tablename
WHERE id='5' OR id='9' OR id='25' OR id='34'
ORDER BY id(5, 34, 9, 25)
Can anyone tell me the proper syntax to accomplish this task?
Thanks for your help.
Keith
