你可以很容易地使用(在PostgreSQL 8.2中引入)VALUES()，()。

语法是这样的:

select c.*
from comments c
join (
  values
    (1,1),
    (3,2),
    (2,3),
    (4,4)
) as x (id, ordering) on c.id = x.id
order by x.ordering

select * from comments where comments.id in 
(select unnest(ids) from bbs where id=19795) 
order by array_position((select ids from bbs where id=19795),comments.id)

这里，[bbs]是主表，它有一个名为ids的字段， id是存储注释的数组。id。

在postgresql 9.6中通过

相比使用序列的版本略有改进，我认为:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION in_sort(anyarray, out id anyelement, out ordinal int)
LANGUAGE SQL AS
$$
    SELECT $1[i], i FROM generate_series(array_lower($1,1),array_upper($1,1)) i;
$$;

SELECT 
    * 
FROM 
    comments c
    INNER JOIN (SELECT * FROM in_sort(ARRAY[1,3,2,4])) AS in_sort
        USING (id)
ORDER BY in_sort.ordinal;

我同意其他所有说“不要那样做”或“SQL不擅长那样做”的帖子。如果您想按注释的某个方面排序，那么向其中一个表添加另一个整数列以保存排序条件并按该值排序。按注释排序。“如果你想每次都按不同的顺序排序，那么……在这种情况下，SQL不适合您。

在Postgresql:

select *
from comments
where id in (1,3,2,4)
order by position(id::text in '1,3,2,4')

让我们对已经说过的内容有一个直观的印象。例如，你有一个带有一些任务的表:

SELECT a.id,a.status,a.description FROM minicloud_tasks as a ORDER BY random();

 id |   status   |   description    
----+------------+------------------
  4 | processing | work on postgres
  6 | deleted    | need some rest
  3 | pending    | garden party
  5 | completed  | work on html

并且您希望按状态对任务列表进行排序。 status是一个字符串值列表:

(processing, pending,  completed, deleted)

诀窍是给每个状态值一个整数，并以数字顺序排列列表:

SELECT a.id,a.status,a.description FROM minicloud_tasks AS a
  JOIN (
    VALUES ('processing', 1), ('pending', 2), ('completed', 3), ('deleted', 4)
  ) AS b (status, id) ON (a.status = b.status)
  ORDER BY b.id ASC;

这就导致:

 id |   status   |   description    
----+------------+------------------
  4 | processing | work on postgres
  3 | pending    | garden party
  5 | completed  | work on html
  6 | deleted    | need some rest
