Sort a doctrine's @OneToMany ArrayCollection

Question

My question is close to this one, but does not exactly fit with mine.

I\'ve this column in an entity:

/**
 * @var ArrayCollection[SubjectTag]
 *
 * @         


        

Answer 1

I found a solution, using @HasLifeCycleCallbacks.

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * ...
 * @ORM\HasLifecycleCallbacks
 */
class Subject
{

    /**
     * @var ArrayCollection[SubjectTag]
     *
     * @ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="SubjectTag", mappedBy="subject")
     * @Assert\Count(max = 10, maxMessage = "You can't create more than 10 tags.")
     * @Assert\Valid()
     */
    protected $subjectTags;


    /**
     * @ORM\PostLoad
     */
    public function onPostLoad()
    {
        $tags = $this->subjectTags->toArray();
        usort($tags, function($a, $b)
        {
            return $a->getPosition() == $b->getPosition() ? 0 : ($a->getPosition() > $b->getPosition() : -1 : 1);
        });
        $this->subjectTags = new ArrayCollection($tags);
    }

}
