As a side note pre-ordered relationships have been on our TODO list
for some time. Since it is a JPA feature, it is higher priority now.

I tend to do this:

Collections.sort(customers, new

return customers;

Hi All,
I recently discovered Cayenne while searching for an alternative for
Hibernate.
I am very impressed with the easy & intuitive framework Cayenne
provides.
While porting my current Hibernate app to Cayenne, I did run into an
issue
which I'd like to seek your help:
In Hibernate, the M side of 1-M relationship can be mapped as a
list,
which
means it's ordered. I can specify the list-index column like this:
<class name="Item" table="ITEM">
...
<list name="bids">
<key column="ITEM_ID" not-null="true"/>
<list-index column="BID_POSITION"/>
<one-to-many class="Bid"/>
</list>
</class>
and the BID_POSITION is automatically managed by the framework.
Is there any 'list index column' equivalent in Cayenne? How can I
ask
the
framework to manage the list index ? or do I have to manage it by
myself?
Thanks very much!!
Well, you can order the results easily enough once you fetch them
into a
list:

In Cayenne 3 you can also fetch the results into a Map if that
helps what
you are trying to do.
