Ecto: Custom sort order using a fragment and stored function

Questions / Help

I have a stored function named custom_sort in a postgresql database.

Is it possible at all to call that function from ecto in a order_by clause? Something similiar to the following (which is - of course - not working):

Authorization
  |> order_by([m], fragment("custom_sort (ARRAY['MANAGER', 'ADMIN', 'USER'], ?)", ^m.selection))
  |> select([m],m.selection})
  |> Repo.all()

From what I’ve read so far order_by might not be able to handle this.
What other solution might help?

Thanks for any hint/ideas
