You already have an answer but if you're interested in making the DB do the
sorting (which may be faster if you have a lot of records) you could do
something like this:
ordered = [5,2,3,4,1]
def make_orderby(table, attribute, ordered):
orderby = 'case'
for idx, value in enumerate(ordered):
orderby += '\n when %(table)s.%(attribute)s = %(value)s then
%(idx)s' % locals()
else:
idx += 1
orderby += '\n else %(idx)s' % locals()
orderby += '\nend'
return orderby
tests =
db(db.test.id.belongs(ordered)).select(orderby=make_orderby('test','id',
ordered))
