MySQL - Add a fixed static row to result

I have the following MySQL statement that returns a list of user_id's

SELECT user_id FROM user_links WHERE linked_user_id='1234'

The user_id never contains the linked_user_id that I use in the where clause. So I want to always add the from clause "linked_user_id" in the result but also want to sort by the user_id ASC.

Is there a way to do this in the MySQL statement itself or do I have to do this with some other scripting?

Use UNION

SELECT user_id FROM user_links WHERE linked_user_id='1234'
UNION ALL
SELECT '1234'
user_14918950

You can modify your condition to add that user_id:

SELECT user_id FROM user_links WHERE '1234' in (user_id, linked_user_id)

Let's sort it accordingly:

    SELECT user_id 
    FROM user_links 
    WHERE '1234' in (user_id, linked_user_id)
    ORDER BY user_id

Or you can even guarantee that the linked user id will be the last row by:

    SELECT user_id 
    FROM user_links 
    WHERE '1234' in (user_id, linked_user_id)
    ORDER BY user_id = '1234', user_id
user_4365600
