here is another solution for that...
SELECT if (Category = 'others', '999', 0) as priority, ID, Category FROM TableName
ORDER BY priority, Category

ID Category

6 biochemistry
62 Commerce
95 chemistry
2 Engg
87 Ecommerce
7 math
45 physics
1 Software Engg
5 Others
Try something like this: SELECT id, category from mytable order by concat(if(id=5,'B','A'),category); Only problem is that it won't optimize, so use this on small tables only. Regards, Fred.
