Help with sorting (ie. ORDER BY expression)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,
I am running postgres-7.3. I have a query like this:

SELECT question_id, question_text
FROM quiz_table
WHERE question_id IN (2,10,3,6,4,5);

But I want the output to be sorted in the way I give the question_id, 
something like:

SELECT question_id, question_text
FROM quiz_table
WHERE question_id IN (2,10,3,6,4,5)
ORDER BY question_id (2,10,3,6,4,5)

Is there any way I can do that, so that the output of the query is

question_id, text
2			...
10
3
6
4
5	

Thanks for any help.

RDB
