I don't see why you needed to results in any specific order. Replace what I posted before with this:

PHP Code:

$menuids = '5,10,3,1,4,7';
$menus = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
    SELECT id, shortdescription
    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "menus
    WHERE id IN ($menuids)
");

$menus_array = array();
while ($menu = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($menus))
{
    $menus_array[$menu[$id]] = $menu;
} 


You can call "shortdescription" like this:

PHP Code:

$menus_array[$menuid]['shortdescription']
