arbitrary ORDER BY

[Steve Lefevre]

Hey folks -

I have a project where I need to sort rows by an arbitrary order. I seem 
to recall at some point where I was able to do some SQL like:

ORDER BY
	type = "the first type",
	type = "another type",
	type = "yes another arbitrary type" ...

However, my arbitrary ORDER BY statements don't seem to be working on 
MySQL 5.0.16.

Am I remembering correctly? I can't seem to find anything in the MySQL 
manual.
