Simulating MySQL's ORDER BY FIELD() in Postgresql
Ah, gahooa was so close:
SELECT * FROM currency_codes
ORDER BY
CASE
WHEN code='USD' THEN 1
WHEN code='CAD' THEN 2
WHEN code='AUD' THEN 3
WHEN code='BBD' THEN 4
WHEN code='EUR' THEN 5
WHEN code='GBP' THEN 6
ELSE 7
END,name;
sort in mysql:
> ids = [11,31,29]
=> [11, 31, 29]
> User.where(id: ids).order("field(id, #{ids.join(',')})")
in postgres:
def self.order_by_ids(ids)
order_by = ["CASE"]
ids.each_with_index do |id, index|
order_by << "WHEN id='#{id}' THEN #{index}"
end
order_by << "END"
order(order_by.join(" "))
end
User.where(id: [3,2,1]).order_by_ids([3,2,1]).map(&:id)
#=> [3,2,1]
