How to order by more than one field in Grails?

Question

Is there a way to get a list ordered by two fields, say last and first names?

I know .listOrderByLastAndFirst and .list(sort:\'last, first\')

Answer 1

This is quite old but helped me in finding a suitable solution. A "cleaner" code example by using withCriteria shortcut:

def c = MyDomain.withCriteria {
    and {
        order('last', 'desc')
        order('first', 'desc')
    }
}

Answer 2

MyDomain.findAll(sort: ['first': 'desc','last':'desc'])

works with grails-datastore-gorm:6.0.3

Answer 3

Hates_ criteria answer didn't seem to work for me; putting "last,first" in order will only cause exceptions saying, "Property 'last,first' not found". To order on two fields, you can do the following:

def c = MyDomain.createCriteria()
def results = c.list {
    and{
       order('last','desc')
       order('first','desc')
    }
}

Answer 4

I has the same problem. Since my list is not so big, I use groovy sort, as I want to sort on fields of linked domain: CalendarData -> Attraction

def listCalendar (Calendar calendar) {
    respond CalendarData.where {
        calendar == calendar
    }.list().sort{ "$it.attraction.type?:' '$it.attraction.name" }
}
