How about this?
SELECT field1, field2, field3
FROM table
WHERE field1 IN (83944, 83955, 83954, 83951,83947, 83946, 83953)
ORDER BY CASE field1
WHEN 83944 THEN 1
WHEN 83955 THEN 2
WHEN 83954 THEN 3
WHEN 83951 THEN 4
WHEN 83947 THEN 5
WHEN 83946 THEN 6
WHEN 83953 THEN 7
END
My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?
My advice:
INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
