PHP & Mysql Not ordered correctly - php

Question

I have latest MySQL version (5.5) and this is the screenshot of groupid field
I didn't touch anything yet, but some cells are not ordered correctly like this
But if I click groupid name in the top, it will ordered correctly like this:
Below PHP code output is like first screenshot above, that are not ordered correctly. Please help how to make the output ordered correctly, like it is displayed in the second screenshot above,
Maybe add code like this : order by id asc, but which is the right place to add it below?
$group_ids = explode(" ", $options['groupchoice_ids']);
$groupsql = "SELECT id, title FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thegroup WHERE";
$first = true;
foreach($group_ids as $value)
{
if (!$first)
{
$groupsql = $groupsql . " OR ";
}
else
{
$first = false;
}
$groupsql = $groupsql . " id = '" . $value . "' ";
}
$kh_optionsgroup = '<select name = "accounttype">';
$checksec = $db->query_read($groupsql);
if ($db->num_rows($checksec))
{
while ($lboard = $db->fetch_array($checksec))
{
$kh_optionsgroup = $kh_optionsgroup . "<option value
='" . $lboard['id'] . "'>" . $lboard['title'] . "</option>";
}
}
$verifystring = '$human_verify';
$kh_optionsgroup = $kh_optionsgroup . "</select>";

At the end of your query, you need to set an order, like so:
$groupsql="SELECT id, title FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thegroup WHERE";
$first=true;
foreach($group_ids as $value){
if(!$first){
$groupsql = $groupsql." OR ";
}else{
$first = false;
}
$groupsql = $groupsql." id = '".$value."' ORDER BY groupid ASC";
}
ORDER BY id ASC
This will make the query return its results in ascending order from the groupid column. Simply change ASC to DESC if you want it to go descendinng (high->low).
