Question

not sure how to do this but say i have a table with a bunch of items owned by userID 5, I want to make it so that if i search for a specific item from that user, all of his items will show up, but the item searched for will appear first and the rest of the items will follow. For example:

Items table
-----------
itemID       userID    itemName
1              5       Coffee Mug
2              5       iPhone
3              5       LCD Monitor
4              5       Macbook pro
5              5       Shell

So say i do a search for an iPhone, i want my results to return all of userID’s items (WHERE userID=5), but… I want the iPhone item to be at the top of the list! Thanks all for your help!
