Order by umm OR?

Hi,

Lets say I have a query similar to:

SELECT * FROM company WHERE id='3' OR id='1' OR id='7' ;

I want to be able to get the results to come out ordered by the order
the ids were searched (the sequence in the WHERE OR; 3 first then 1,
then 7...), so the results would be like:

Row | id | name
-------------------
0 | 3 | Joe's Co
1 | 1 | Buymart
2 | 7 | The big evil

As it is the results returns it like id 1, then 3, and 7.

Thanks for your help guys,
Best,
Yoed

Hi All I am finding unexpected results when inserted into a newly created table that has a field of datatype int identity (1,1). Basically the order I sort on when inserting into the table is not reflected in the order of the values from the identity field. Have I been wrong in assuming that it should reflect the order from the sort?
