Question

I have this Select:

SELECT pts_name
FROM   products_tecspecs
WHERE  pts_id IN ( 5275, 21, 5276, 5277,
                   5278, 49, 5279 )
ORDER  BY FIELD (pts_id, 5275, 21, 5276, 5277, 5278, 49, 5279) 

I am trying to get the result and order it the way I want. I found this answer but got this error: #1305 – FUNCTION database_name.FIELD does not exist

I am trying to get specifics results with IN (that’s working), but sorting the way I want.

Help you be apreciated.

Answer 1

Remove the space between the function and the parenthesis: FIELD (
MySQL parser does not like spaces there. Use:

FIELD(pts_id, ...)
