Doctrine_Core::getTable()->findAll() how to specify order?

Question

When using a Doctrine_Table object, is it possible to specify the order of the returned collection when using findAll() or findByWhatever()?

In the doc's I see some stuff about getOrderByStatement() and processOrderBy() but it isn't clear on how to use them...

Answer 1

You can also leave the first array blank

  $em->getRepository('BackendDestinyBundle:Destiny')->findBy(array(), array('title'=>'asc'));

Answer 2

You can in fact specify a default order by in your schema:

Foo:
  columns:
    ...
  options:
    orderBy: bar DESC

Note that when you want to specify a different order, you can still create a query and override the default order by.

Answer 3

According to Jon Wage you should create a Query in this Case… Found in the mailing-list

Answer 4

In my case, the problem was that i had a statement like this

$destinos  = $em->getRepository('BackendDestinyBundle:Destiny')->findAll();

finaly I changed it to a CreateQuery statement, it does exactly the same but i can put a OrderBy sentence

$destinos  = $em->createQuery("SELECT d FROM BackendDestinyBundle:Destiny d order by d.name")->getResult();
