Question

Lets say I have an Issues domain class and it has as a field assignedTo:

String  title 
String  priority
User    assignedTo
  ...

I need to be able to sort on assignedTo. Neither the list.gsp default scaffolding nor the tag it uses, g:sortableColumn, support this. It seems like the g:sortableColumn needs to have both a property field, and a propertyOfProperty field.

Do you know a good way to solve this?

Answer 1

Ok, so this appears possible, just missing clarity in the documentation, and searching the web didn’t help.

So, one can do property=”assignedTo.lastName”, i.e.

 <g:sortableColumn property="assignedTo.lastName" title="${message(code: 'issue.assignedTo.label', default: 'Assigned To')}" />
