In order to request items form SQL in a specif order, you need to have a column on which it can sort: a DisplayOrder column for example.

Country   DisplayOrder
USA            2
France         3
India          1

You can then use an SQL query to decide which order to display them in:

SQL

SELECT Country FROM MyTable ORDER BY DisplayOrder ASC
