shuffle random MYSQL results

Question

The following code displays random database images as well as one specific image (which is what I want). How can I shuffle these results after database query as image ID 11

Answer 1

You can shuffle them after they are retrieved to php.

$photos = array();
while ($get_photo = mysql_fetch_array($photo))
    $photos[] = $get_photo;

shuffle($photos);

Or you can do it with subqueries:

SELECT A.* FROM (
    SELECT * FROM `profile_images` 
    ORDER BY (ID = 11) DESC, RAND()      
    LIMIT 7
) as A
ORDER BY RAND()
