Although I don't have bad experiences about validateForSave even done some set..methods in
it, I'm thinking of moving thing out there:-)
I've things similar to ordered tree and I'm caching tree path in nodes
for searching convenience.
I also have a hyper relationship eo<<-->ownerEO
specified by two keys: (oidOwner, ownerClassName). when I say
anEO.addOwner(ownerEO), I need some general approach of key assigning.
since one or both anEO and ownerEO may be newly created (with temp globalID).
all these sync problems are better treated right before saveChanges().
Thanks

Except you
can't call any set... methods in validateForSave without incurring the wrath
of the gods. (Please don't call set methods in validation code. . . I can't
believe I got to say this before Chuck Hill responded.)
Wrapper
methods that perform the behavior you want are what you're after here, I
think. Skiena's Algorithm Design Handbook may cover this.

validateForSave() is where i would put the logic for
re-ordering.
the idea:
implement methods
(1)
checkChildrenOrder() that returns false if children array has
order
problem
(2) resetChildrenOrder() that loop over its children
array and set each
one's order attribute to its index in the
array.
in validateForSave(), you say
validateForSave()
{
super().validateForSave();
if(!checkChildrenOrder())
{
resetChildrenOrder();
}
}
