This might help... to quote Bert Bawson from a fusebox list on topica that
found its way into my KB,...
If you're using SQLserver then you can use a case statement and a dummy
column:
SELECT my_col
, CASE Left(my_col,1)
WHEN 'P' THEN 1
WHEN 'O' THEN 2
ELSE 3
END AS myorderby
FROM my_table
ORDER BY
myorderby
Cheers,
Scott.

Another thought:
If there are specific sublists that need to be selected in a particular
order, then there really should be a separate table in the database, with
ListId, SortOrder, and StoryHeading.
You could then link from this new table to your existing one, selecting on
listid, and sort on the sort_order

The only way I can think of is to use cfloop run through the list, and
execute a separate query to get the records individually.
You could then store the output in a list or array, and process as required.

The data in on SQLServer2000
I want to order by the list, which is in fact the "storyheader" not PK, or
date.

Matt,
You will need the order by clause to guarantee the order you want.
Depending on the dbms, (and time of day and phase of the moon), the default
order can be:
1. Order records were created
2. Primary key order
3. Last modified date
4. Index being used to access records
Basically, if the order is important, put an ORDER BY clause on your select.
Phil.

Hi all quick one hopefully,
Look at my code below and tell me why my cfdump is not odering the query
based on the list?? If I don't use the "ORDER BY" clause in my SQL does the
query use a default ordering or should the list be defining the order??? Can
i use the list as the "ORDER" instead???
<cfif #URL.treatment# is "VIP">
<cfset treatment="187, 948, 968, 958, 973, 963, 969, 953, 977">
</cfif>
<cfset dataPageID="2312">
<!--- run query using the list info above --->
<cfquery name="qgetTreatments" datasource="#application.DSN#">
SELECT STORYHEADING, STORYHTML
FROM #Application.tablePrefix#TABLESTORY
WHERE PAGEID = '#dataPageID#'
AND STORYHEADING IN (#treatment#)
</cfquery>
Here's the output of my dump:
