MySQL result order to match IN array?

[jdiver]

Here is my query:
SELECT * FROM season_games WHERE game_id IN ('182','47','40','159','202','231','98')

My question is, is there any way I can return the results in the same order they appear in the array? Using the query as entered above, it will return them in the order 40,47,98,159,182,202,231. I would like them to be returned in the order 182,47,40,159,202,231,98 (just as they appear in the array). Thanks in advance for any help.

SELECT * FROM season_games WHERE game_id IN ('182','47','40','159','202','231','98')
order by case game_id
when '182' then 1
when '47' then 2
when '40' then 3
when '159' then 4
when '202' then 5
when '231' the 6
when '98' then 7
else 999 end
