MySQL order question

Ben
I would like to order the results from a query in a non standard way.

I would like to order them by a field called season and return the
results in the order LOW, MID, HIGH.

I obviously can't order the results alphabetically but wondered whether
you can define the order in the query.

Any help would be appreciated,

Ben.

Could you use numeric values in season field, or add another field which
would use numeric representation of season value. That way you could
order them according to the number value which you could assign to each
season the way you want.
