Question

I get data from IN query in this format

SELECT * FROM wp_devices WHERE QID=’1′ and DId IN(36,71,37,39,38)

But they are displaying in this format DId IN(36,37,38,39,71) instead of DId IN(36,71,37,39,38).

What should I do ?

Answer 1

You should add order by clause to your query.
Because your order is a little bizarre you must to write case workflow code:

SELECT * 
FROM wp_devices 
WHERE 
   QID='1' and 
   DId IN (36,71,37,39,38) 
ORDER BY
   case DId
     when 36 then 1
     when 71 then 2
     when 37 then 3
     when 39 then 4
     when 38 then 5
   end

I suppose that you work with mysql because you have another question that is tagged like this. Then you can simplify previous query using field function:

SELECT * 
FROM wp_devices 
WHERE 
   QID='1' and 
   DId IN (36,71,37,39,38) 
ORDER BY
   field( DId, 36,71,37,39,38 )

Notice that field works with strings an an implicit type casting is maded.
