How to get the output in the required format

Question

Hi,
I have a table Months
it has 2 columns month_id (number) and month_name(varchar2).
I wish to get the o/p from a select query such that ,
when user chooses a specific month_id it should appear first and rest all months should come below it in ascending order.
example - if the month_id choosen is 3
then the output should be like
Month_id Month
3 March
1 January
2 February
4 April
5 May
How to do this ?
Thanks.
