Question

I have the code below:

$firm_ids = array(81, 96, 18, 5, 105);  
$this->paginate = array(  
    'conditions' => array('Firm.id' => $firm_ids),  
    'limit' => 10,  
);

$this->set('firms', $this->paginate('Firm'));  

In the results I have the ordering in:

5, 18, 81, 95, 105 

How do I disable the default order if I want to order as initial array ordering?

Answer 1

I found a workaround on some forum, see if this works:

$this->paginate = array(
    'conditions' => array('Firm.id' => $firm_ids),
    'limit' => 10,
    'order' => array(
        'FIELD(Firm.id,' . implode(',',$firm_ids) . ')'
    )
);
