Hi im trying to order domain data using their status. As you might know, domain status DOM_EXP or DOM_DAKT applies before domain hits DOM_HELD therefore i dont care whitch one of this status has a domain before it became DOM_HELD

How can i order this data? Using select provided below i only achieve that DOM_DAKT is behing DOM_EXP but i want it to be somewhere in between, ordered by exp_date

SELECT domain_id, status, exp_date 
FROM domains 
ORDER BY 
field (status, 'DOM_DEL', 'DOM_HELD', 'DOM_EXP', 'DOM_DAKT'), 
exp_date ASC;

+-----------+----------+---------------------+
| domain_id | status   | exp_date            |
+-----------+----------+---------------------+
|         2 | DOM_DEL  | 2012-02-02 10:47:33 |
|         4 | DOM_HELD | 2012-02-02 10:47:38 |
|         5 | DOM_HELD | 2012-02-02 10:47:40 |
|         7 | DOM_HELD | 2012-02-02 10:47:44 |
|         1 | DOM_EXP  | 2012-02-02 10:47:27 |
|         3 | DOM_EXP  | 2012-02-02 10:47:35 |
|         6 | DOM_EXP  | 2012-02-02 10:47:42 |
|        54 | DOM_DAKT | 2012-02-02 10:47:39 |
+-----------+----------+---------------------+

the result have to be like this

+-----------+----------+---------------------+
| domain_id | status   | exp_date            |
+-----------+----------+---------------------+
|         2 | DOM_DEL  | 2012-02-02 10:47:33 |
|         4 | DOM_HELD | 2012-02-02 10:47:38 |
|         5 | DOM_HELD | 2012-02-02 10:47:40 |
|         7 | DOM_HELD | 2012-02-02 10:47:44 |
|         1 | DOM_EXP  | 2012-02-02 10:47:27 |
|         3 | DOM_EXP  | 2012-02-02 10:47:35 |
|        54 | DOM_DAKT | 2012-02-02 10:47:39 |
|         6 | DOM_EXP  | 2012-02-02 10:47:42 |

    Order first by “rank” of status where DOM_EXP and DOM_DAKT are considered to be of equal rank. Then order by EXP_DATE within each “rank” of status

    SELECT domain_id, status, exp_date 
FROM domains 
ORDER BY CASE WHEN status = 'DOM_DEL'  THEN 1
              WHEN status = 'DOM_HELD' THEN 2
              WHEN status = 'DOM_EXP'  THEN 3
              WHEN status = 'DOM_DAKT' THEN 3 -- EXP and DAKT are "of equal rank"
END,
EXP_DATE

    Look at the CASE expression as a mapping status => ordering rank
