[TYPO3-mvc] How to sort objectstorage

[Thomas Mammitzsch]

hi,

i'm not sure if i get it right.
Wouldn't it be?

Notepad <-> Company m:n
Company <-> Tag m:n

Then you iterate over each company of the Notepad and store the tag f.e. 
in an array at runtime if it not already exists in that array. After 
that you can sort that array and return it. like that:

class Notepad {
.......
public function getTags() {
     $tags = array();
     foreach($this->getCompanies() as $company) {
        foreach($company->getTags() as $tag) {
            if(!in_array($tag, $tags) {
             array_push($tags, $tag)
          }
       }
    }

     //do some sorting

     return $tags;

}

regards, Thomas
