Question

I have a query with an order

ORDER BY FIND_IN_SET(status, '1,5,3,4,2'), end_date ASC

but what I would like is any record with status 1 to be ordered end_date ASC and any status 2 ordered by end_date DESC and the others ordered by end_date ASC.

Can this be done? Thanks

Try this query –

SELECT * FROM table_name
  ORDER BY
    IF(status < 2, status, 3),
    IF(status = 2, TO_DAYS(end_date) * -1, TO_DAYS(end_date))
