These are just some ideas - not sure which one would be more
efficient:
$order = array();
foreach ($topLinks as $linkId) {
$order[] = '(Link.id='.$linkId.') DESC';
}
... = $this->Link->find('all', array(
'conditions' => ...,
'order' => $order
));
[or]
$coef = 1;
$expr = array();
for($i=count($topLinks)-1; $i>=0; --$i) {
$expr[] = $coef . '* (Link.id='.$topLinks[$i].')';
}
$expr = '('.implode('+', $expr) . ') AS position';
... = $this->Link->find('all', array(
'conditions' => ...,
'fields' => 'Link.*, ' . $expr,
'order' => 'position ASC'
));
