Question

I make this query:

String query = FROM Account acc WHERE acc.id = ? OR acc.id = ? or acc.id = ?...

I have array of ids:

long[] accountIds= {327913,327652,327910,330511,330643};

Then I make

getHibernateTemplate().find(query, accountIds);

I see that the list of accounts I get back from this query is:

327652,327910,327913,330511,330643, obviously , ordered by id.

Any chance I get it back in the order I wrote the ids?

Will appreciate all the help

You can’t do it on query level.
You can sort after loading from db, something like this

   long[] accountIds= {327913,327652,327910,330511,330643};
   List<Account> afterHql = getHibernateTemplate().find(query, accountIds);
   List<Account> sortedList = new ArrayList<Acount>();
   for (long id : accountIds)
   {
       for (Account account : afterHql)
       {
           if (account.getId() == id)
           {
               sortedList.add(account);
           }
       }
   }
