MySQL自定义排序函数 field()

1、mysql in 排序 按in里面的顺序来排序

select * from table where id IN (3,6,9,1,2,5,8,7);

这样的情况取出来后，其实，id还是按1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,排序的，但如果我们真要按IN里面的顺序排序怎么办？SQL能不能完成？是否需要取回来后再foreach一下？

其实可以这样

select * from table where id IN (3,6,9,1,2,5,8,7) order by field(id,3,6,9,1,2,5,8,7);

出来的顺序就是指定的顺序了

关于这种排序的效率，
有文章指出：
FIELD(str,str1,str2,str3,…)
Returns the index (position) of str in the str1, str2, str3, … list. Returns 0 if str is not found.
排序过程：把选出的记录的 id 在 FIELD 列表中进行查找，并返回位置，以位置作为排序依据。
这样的用法，会导致 Using filesort，是效率很低的排序方式。除非数据变化频率很低，或者有长时间的缓存，否则不建议用这样的方式排序。
作者建议在程序代码中自行排序。
但是也有人说这种排序不会出现什么性能瓶颈
具体还是自己测试一下吧。

mysql> select * from driver_log order by name;

+--------+-------+------------+-------+

| rec_id | name  | trav_date  | miles |

+--------+-------+------------+-------+

|      1 | Ben   | 2006-08-30 |   152 |

|      9 | Ben   | 2006-09-02 |    79 |

|      5 | Ben   | 2006-08-29 |   131 |
