For instance:

select ENAME,ORIG_SALARY, 1 as my_order from employee where (ename='Tom' and
orig_salary=2413) union all select ENAME,ORIG_SALARY, 2 employee where
(orig_salary=1234 ) order by my_order.

other solution (untested):

select ENAME,ORIG_SALARY, case when (ename='Tom' and orig_salary=2413)
then 1 else 2 end as my_order from employee where (ename='Tom' and
orig_salary=2413)or(orig_salary=1234 ) order by my_order;
