PaPa,
It comes from external source together with Relevance value (float),
Then you need to ORDER BY that func.

Hi,

where the first ID has highest relevance and subsequent IDs are in
decreasing order.
For example:
109k7 1.79
s3x6 1.34
sxmns 1.21
wt57 0.93
I could use these numbers in the query as well if it helps.

What rule generates the order 109k7, s3x6, wt57, sxmns?

Hello,
I have a query like:
SELECT id, start_date FROM iddt WHERE id IN ('109k7','s3x6','sxmns','wt57');
which gives me:
+-------+---------------------+
| id | start_date |
+-------+---------------------+
| 109k7 | 2007-10-07 12:06:58 |
| sxmns | 2007-10-06 02:17:30 |

| s3x6 | 2007-10-07 08:58:20 |

How can I get the results sorted by the order in which they appear in
the ID list? Indeed I could do it in the application but prefer to get
the results in the right order from MySQL as the ID list may be long
and I may need only first few entries cropped by LIMIT clause. Ideally
it should ORDER BY DATE(start_date) DESC and then by the ID list. Do I
need some sort of stored function for that?
I.e. the ideal output would be:
+-------+---------------------+
| id | start_date |
+-------+---------------------+
| 109k7 | 2007-10-07 12:06:58 |
| s3x6 | 2007-10-07 08:58:20 |
| wt57 | 2007-10-07 15:57:37 |
| sxmns | 2007-10-06 02:17:30 |
