[TYPO3-mvc] FYI: Property paths as operand in orderings

[Jochen Rau]

Hi.

With r2024 of Extbase I have implemented the possibility to specify 
property paths for operands of orderings. It is now possible to order 
the items of a query result by a property of an object inside the aggregate:

$query->setOrderings(array('client.address.zip' => 
Tx_Extbase_Persistence_QueryInterface::ORDER_ASCENDING));

Additional I am going to implement support for something like

$query->setOrderings(array('posts.date' => 
Tx_Extbase_Persistence_QueryInterface::ORDER_DESCENDING));

(inside a BlogRepository) for sorting across multi-value properties. The 
resulting Blogs would be sorted by the date of the latest Post. (The 
Posts inside the Blog would not be sorted by this setting!).

Both behaviors will be implemented in FLOW3, too. Please test and give 
feedback.

Regards
Jochen
