This is what you have to do since sess.createCriteria is deprecated:

CriteriaBuilder builder = getSession().getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery q = builder.createQuery(User.class);
Root usr = q.from(User.class);
ParameterExpression p = builder.parameter(String.class);
q.select(usr).where(builder.like(usr.get("name"),p))
  .orderBy(builder.asc(usr.get("name")));
TypedQuery query = getSession().createQuery(q);
query.setParameter(p, "%" + Main.filterName + "%");
List list = query.getResultList();
