Get Windows batch file parameter by name, not position

Question

If I run a Windows batch file in the following way:

myscript.bat -b test -c 789

or in the following way:

myscript.bat -c 789 -b test

What is the best way to reliably get the value of c?

how about:

IF _%1==_b echo do something with %2
IF _%1==_c echo do something with %2
IF _%3==_b echo do something with %4
IF _%3==_c echo do something with %4
