How to invoke order by on a joined entity? I am trying to achieve the following with:
select * from person p inner join telephone t on p.id=t.person_id join sim s on s.id=t.sim_id order by s.name DESC
@Entity
public class Person implements Serializable{
@Id
private Long id;
@OneToMany(orphanRemoval = true, mappedBy = "person", fetch = FetchType.LAZY, cascade = CascadeType.PERSIST)
private List<Telephone> telephonesNumber;
@Entity
public class Telephone implements Serializable {
@Id
private String number;
@Id
@ManyToOne()
@JoinColumn(name = "person_id")
private Person person;
@Id
@ManyToOne(cascade = {})
@JoinColumn(name = "sim_id")
private Sim sim;
@Entity
public class Sim implements Serializable {
@Id
private Long id;
@Column(unique = true)
private String name;
I use specification interface, in this example sorting is on the field person.id and it works
public class PersonSpecification implements Specification<Person> {
@Override
public Predicate toPredicate(Root<Person> root, CriteriaQuery<?> query, CriteriaBuilder builder) {
List<Predicate> predicates = new ArrayList<>();
// there is many different conditions for example
// if(someCondition!=null) {
// predicates.add(builder.like(root.get("someProperty"), someValue));
// }
query.groupBy(root.get("id"));
//there I want to order by Sim.name i dont know how
query.orderBy(builder.asc(root.get("phone")));//this works
return builder.and((predicates.toArray(new Predicate[predicates.size()])));
}
I want to order by Sim.name but i dont know how.
In JPA specification you can use:
to sort by sim name.

If you using JPA Query:
It will produce this:
