I’ve seen this question: Select query but show the result from record number 3

I’ve seen this question:
Select query but show the result from record number 3

Table

|id|   foo   |    bar   |
-------------------------
|1 |   aaa   |    123   |
|2 |   bbb   |    234   |
|3 |   ccc   |    345   |
|4 |   ddd   |    456   |

based on the link above I use the query

SELECT * 
FROM Table 
ORDER BY (id = 3) DESC

and the result is

|id|   foo   |    bar   |
-------------------------
|3 |   ccc   |    345   |
|1 |   aaa   |    123   |
|2 |   bbb   |    234   |
|4 |   ddd   |    456   |

So my question is, is there any way to show the result starts from record number 3,then 4, then 1 and the last is record number 2?
So the result can be shown as follow:

|id|   foo   |    bar   |
-------------------------
|3 |   ccc   |    345   |
|4 |   ddd   |    456   |
|1 |   aaa   |    123   |
|2 |   bbb   |    234   |

My example above is only a model, my goal is how to sort the result from the record I choose to the max record then cycling to the first record. If I choose record number 3 then the result is

3,4,5,...,max,1,2

Is it possible?

    I think this would work:

    ORDER BY (id = 3) OR (id = 4) DESC, id ASC
    

    ETA: Based on your comment, it seems that what you really want is for 1 & 2 to display LAST. That would look like this:

    ORDER BY id <= 2, id
