How to order related data
  • ilNotturnoilNotturno
    Hi guys, I've a question regarding ORM. I have 2 tables:
    - contents
    - categories

    Both have a "many to many" relation with each other, so for example when I perform "Model_Categories::find(1)", I can access all contents associated with category 1.

    There exists a way to order the contents by another field instead of using "id"? Or I have to reorder them by myself?
    Because I want to order them usind another field (updated_at).

    Thank!

    If you always want that specific order, you can define that in the relation definition. If you want it only for this specific query, specify it on the query:

    Model_Categories::find(1, array('related' => array('contents'), 'order_by' => array('contents.fieldname' => 'ASC')))

    (you make have to check the correct syntax, I never use this array notation).
