Question

I am using following SQL Query:

SELECT `comment`.`id` AS `comment_id` , count( `comment_likes`.`comment_id` ) AS `number_of_likes`
FROM `comment`
LEFT JOIN `comment_likes` ON `comment`.`id` = `comment_likes`.`comment_id`
WHERE `comment`.`id`
IN ( 10, 5, 7, 8, 3, 2, 9 )
GROUP BY `comment`.`id`

Here the result of the query is coming as:

comment_id  number_of_likes
2           0
3           1
5           0
7           0
8           0
9           0
10          0

Which I don’t want…? I want the same ordering given where condition i.e. WHERE comment.id
IN ( 10, 5, 7, 8, 3, 2, 9 ).

So I want the result to be like:

comment_id  number_of_likes
10          0
5           0
7           0
8           0
3           1
2           0
9           0

Can anyone help me…?

Thanks In Advance…..

Answer 1

Add explicit ORDER BY. A function that can be helpful is FIELD():

ORDER BY FIELD(comment.id, 10, 5, 7, 8, 3, 2, 9)
