I have struggled for some time with the multi-key sort issue in
SQLObject 0.8, and I can't seem to find any comments on the mailing list
lately (if at all) that are on-point, at least for my newbie level of
understanding, so I thought I'd throw this question out there, to see
what the best approach would be.
Is there an SQLObject way to do a sort using 2 or more keys without
hand-crafted SQL code?
Example: Let's say we have a table called Music, with columns:
Artist
Year
TrackName
And we want to get a sorted list showing all the TrackNames, but sorted
first by Year, and then by Artist and TrackName.
1967
Joplin
Song 1
Song 2
Hendrix
Song A
Song B
1968
Joplin
Song 3
Song 4
Cream
Song X
Song Y
In SQL, I think we would just do:
SELECT Year, Artist, TrackName FROM Music ORDER BY Year, Artist, Track
What if any is the equivalent syntax in SQLObject for this kind of
multi-key sort? All I can find is the single column syntax for orderBy,
but I am not sure how to render this as a 2 or more key argument.
Much Thanks,
