To order results in an IN condition with Oracle, you can use a subquery to specify the ordering of the values you are searching for. Here is an example of how you can achieve this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
SELECT column_name
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name IN (subquery)
ORDER BY CASE column_name
            WHEN value1 THEN 1
            WHEN value2 THEN 2
            ...
            ELSE 999
         END;


In the above query, column_name is the column you are searching for values in, table_name is the table you are querying, and subquery is the subquery that contains the values you are searching for.


You can replace value1, value2, etc. with the actual values you are searching for in the IN condition. The CASE statement in the ORDER BY clause is used to specify the ordering of the values. You can assign a different order number to each value you are searching for, and any values that are not specified will be assigned the highest order number.


This approach allows you to order the results when using the IN condition in Oracle.
