Answer 1

passing a string using a variable was a problem assume this solution

DELIMITER $$

CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` PROCEDURE `spTestListValues`(_list varchar(200))
BEGIN
        SET @LIST=_list; -- assume this a paramter from the stored procedure
    SELECT NULL AS Id,  '' AS Description --insert null value to be used for list box population
    UNION  
    (SELECT id, Description
    FROM test_table
    WHERE FIND_IN_SET(id,@LIST) ORDER BY Description ASC) ;

END

Calling the procedure from other query window

call `spTestListValues`('4,5,3'); --no paramter currently for test

output

ID Description
NUll 
1   TEST1 
4   TEST2
5   TEST3
