How to set same bulk search order in two paragraph search field ?

Question

In bulk search, like we searched 3id's (lets say 8,2,6) in one bulk search paragraph. Now in bulk update function, order of selected searched id's should be same like ( 8,2,6) same as bulk search. 
 It should not be in any other order like (2,6,8) ,(8,6,2) or (6,2,8) etc. So how can we achieve this. Please suggest

a!localVariables(
 local!data: {
 a!map(id:1, value: "A"),
 a!map(id:2, value: "B"),
 a!map(id:3, value: "C"),
 a!map(id:4, value: "D"),
 a!map(id:5, value: "E"),
 },
 local!ids: {3, 1, 5},
 a!forEach(
 items: local!ids,
 expression: displayvalue(fv!item, local!data.id, local!data, null)
 )
)

Hi Vishwas, for searching any multiple values in the data, you can use "wherecontains()" but this will sort the indexes in increasing order. So here you need to use a "forEach()" to separately search the items one by one in the array or data. Like the below pasted image. a!localVariables(
 local!data: {1,2,3,4,5,6},
a!forEach(
 items: {3,1,2},
 expression: wherecontains(
 fv!item,
 local!data
 )
)
) Note: Here I am assuming that you are searching the IDs in the array. As there is nothing in Appian as bulksearch() or bulk search paragraph.
