I'm looking to get query results back from Linq in the order that I pass IDs to the query. So it would look something like this:

var IDs = new int [] { 5, 20, 10 }

var items = from mytable in db.MyTable
            where IDs.Contains(mytable.mytableID)
            orderby // not sure what to do here
            select mytable;

I'm hoping to get items in the order of IDs (5, 20, 10).

(Note this is similar to this question, but I would like to do it in Linq instead of SQL)
