Hello,

I have a list of id's that I need to sort and fetch.

eg; 1,3,6,5,4,3,4,5,6,7,5,4,2

Select id
>From table
Order By id Asc;

it becomes like: 1,2,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,5,6,6,7

What can I add to the above sql statement so that is fetches the
specified id first in a sorted list?

eg: if $specified_id=5;
I want: 5,5,5,1,2,3,3,4,4,4,6,6,7

I could have done it in two different sql statements where one fetches
specified_id and the other fetches and sorts others, but I want to be
able to do it in one sql statement to reduce time.

Any ideas?  Thank you!
