User.ordered_with(id: [4,2,6])
#=> User::ActiveRecord_Relation [#<User id: 4 ...>, #<User id: 2 ...>, #<User id: 6 ...>, #<User id: 1 ...>, ...]If you want to get only these records you should use it following way:
User.where(id: [4,2,6]).ordered_with(id: [4,2,6])
#=> User::ActiveRecord_Relation [#<User id: 4 ...>, #<User id: 2 ...>, #<User id: 6 ...>, #<User id: 1 ...>]You can use this method with multiple fields:
User.ordered_with(name: %w(John), id: [4,2,6])
#=> User::ActiveRecord_Relation [#<User id: 6, name: 'John' ...>, #<User id: 4 ...>, #<User id: 2 ...>, ...]or with joined tables:
User.joins(:freinds).ordered_with(friends: { id: [5,2,7] })
