How to order result of hibernate based on a specific order

Question

I need to send a query to retrieve values that has a specific group of characters as following:

Lets say I am interested in \'XX\' so it should search for any field

Answer 1

If you don't want to sort the result in memory,you can modify your criteria,I'll show you the SQL

select * from table where fname like 'XX%' order by fname
union all
select * from table where fname like '% XX%' order by fname
union all
select * from table where fname like '% XX' order by fname

the result will be your order and alphabetical and then apply your filter.
