    I know how to show the latest posts, but I want to get 3 posts by calling their IDs.

    <?php
$lastposts = get_posts('numberposts=12');
foreach($lastposts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>

    Thank you.

    try the ‘post__in’ parameter:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Post_.26_Page_Parameters

    the query parameters are supposed to work with ‘get_posts()’ as well.

    for example:

    <?php
$args = array(
'numberposts' => 12,
'post__in' => array( 3, 17, 234)
);
$lastposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach($lastposts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>

    Thanks alchymyth, I manage to get the posts I want but I am having trouble displaying them in the order I input them in.

    <?php
$the_query = new WP_Query( array( 'post__in' => array( 44, 18, 36 ), 'orderby' => 'none' ) );
if( have_posts() ) :
while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();
?>

    Any ideas?

    you may need to use three ‘get_post()’ functions –
    afaik, there is no way to have the posts show in any particular order, other than the ones provided by the query (date, title, ..)
