Does postgresql have something similar to the ORDER BY FIELD feature found in 
MySQL?
   
  Something like ORDER BY FIELD(ID, 10, 2, 56, 40);
   
  It is listed here:  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/sorting-rows.html
   
  I am using the Sphinx Search program, www.sphinxsearch.com, and it returns a 
list of IDs ordered by relevance.  I take the array it gives me and create a 
comma separated list which is used in a postgres query using the WHERE "ID" IN 
(10, 2, 56, 40) statement.  I would like to order the result by the order of 
the list.
   
  Thanks.
