Fix a row value and then ORDER BY DESC rest of the values in MySQL

Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable
(
   id int
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.52 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values(10);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.43 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(7);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(8);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(6);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(9);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(11);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

This will produce the following output −

+------+
| id   |
+------+
| 10   |
| 7    |
| 8    |
| 6    |
| 9    |
| 11   |
+------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to fix a row value and then ORDER BY DESC rest of the values −

mysql> select *from DemoTable order by id=10 DESC,id asc;

This will produce the following output −

+------+
| id   |
+------+
| 10   |
| 6    |
| 7    |
| 8    |
| 9    |
| 11   |
+------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
