Suppose you have an array of keys
$key_list = array(3, 6, 2);
And you want to retrieve records from a certain table, using these keys as identifiers (WHERE ID = id_from_key_list)
Foo::get()->byIDs($key_list);
This returns the rows with the ID's that match those in $key_list
(3, 6 and 2) but not in that order.
How do we maintain the same order when retrieving these items?
What you might need to do is to run a foreah loop of the IDs and push each Foo Object into an ArrayList
$aFooList = ArrayList::create();
foreach ($key_list as $key_list_id){
$oFoo = Foo::get()->byID($key_list_id);
$aFooList->push($oFoo);
}
return $aFooList;
