Order records based on the parameters in IN clause -Single query.

Question

I have a query
select * from table_name where id IN (100,250,400) ;
and it returns results in the order they have been entered in the database.
But I need to get the results in the order in which they are entered in the in clause Like
Resultset for 100 ,resultset for 250 and so on.
Is there a way in which I can arrange my resultset?

select * from table_name  where id IN (100,250,400) ORDER BY ID;If you need a specific order you could always do something like this:
ORDER BY DECODE(ID
     ,     150,1
     ,     200,2
     ,     100,3
