Question

I have the Vehicles class and mapping file for it and i want to get all rows from vehicles table ordered by ID desc (I also need the same for my other tables).

I got the following code:

session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
tx = session.beginTransaction();

q = session.createQuery("from Vehicles order by ID DESC");

    for (Iterator it=q.iterate(); it.hasNext();){
         //some logic
    }

But my set isn’t ordered by ID and each time it has a different order like RAND() or something. I was wondering what is the easiest way to keep the functionality and just to add order by clause because I have the same syntax on many places…

Answer 1

Try after “q = session.createQuery(…);” part:

List results = q.list()
//loop through results

There is probably something wrong elsewhere, because “sort by id desc” part is correct. Check your database/mapping files if you have correct data types and if indexes are set properly.
