Hello,

Seems I'm back to this problem (XWiki 3.5), and I did not find a
solution still ...

For example this XWQL request :

   select topic.author, count(topic.author)
     from Document doc, doc.object(MailArchiveCode.MailTopicClass) as topic
    where doc.space<>'MailArchiveCode'
 group by topic.author
 order by count(topic.author) desc

... will throw this exception when executed :

Caused by: org.xwiki.query.jpql.parser.ParserException: [1,165] expecting: id
        at org.xwiki.query.jpql.parser.Parser.parse(Parser.java:1247)
        at org.xwiki.query.jpql.internal.JPQLParser.parse(JPQLParser.java:46)
        at 
org.xwiki.query.xwql.internal.hql.XWQLtoHQLTranslator.translate(XWQLtoHQLTranslator.java:55)
        at 
org.xwiki.query.xwql.internal.XWQLQueryExecutor.execute(XWQLQueryExecutor.java:78)
        ... 123 more

Column 165 refers to the count in the order by clause.

This does not work better :

   select topic.author, count(topic.author)
     from Document doc, doc.object(MailArchiveCode.MailTopicClass) as topic
    where doc.space<>'MailArchiveCode'
 group by topic.author
 order by 2 desc

It does not work with a MySQL nor HSQLDB default db.

If I remove the order by clause, the query works correctly.

I think it's strange because for me ORDER BY COUNT(<column>) is valid
in JPQL ? As long as the expression is also present in the SELECT
clause.

Thanks,
Jeremie
