Thanks,All,
         To Tino,I want to order by IN condition "(6,3,4,10,7)".
         To Sergio,my answer is "Yes".
         To Kenny,I think this is not the result I want to get.
         To Scott,In database,there are thousands of  products.the select query is generated by application,and it is not sure how many product_id in condition,maybe the next query would be .........product_id in (4,26,7,8,9,23,27,54)
         Maybe,temp table is a solution,but that would be performance issue.
        
         thanks

I take it you want the set sorted by product_id order of 6,3,4,10 ???

order by
case when product_id = 6 then 1 when product_id=3 then 2 when
product_id=4 then 3 when product_id=10 then 4 else product_id+1000
end;
