In this case u can use
case when name = 'jonny'then 1
when name = 'yash'then 2
when name = 'ajay'then 3
when name = 'sarra'then 4

end


than you can sort the id from 1 to 4 and y'll get the resulr you want for this case

Can't look inside someone's mind, but what I think: if there is no logic in sorting, then "attach" numbers to values according to the sort you need.
