Question

Let’s say I have definied a User object using GORM. Each user can have zero or more Login:s. Each Login has a timestamp. When retrieving user.logins I want the logins to be sorted based on the value of login.date. What is the correct Grails way to achieve this?

Example: I want the following code to list all the user’s logins in ascending order.

<g:each var='login' in='${user.logins}'>   <tr>     <td>${login.date}</td>   </tr> </g:each> 

These are the referenced classes:

class User {   ...   def hasMany = [logins: Login]   static fetchMode = [logins: 'eager'] }  class Login {   Date date   ...   def belongsTo = [User] } 

I’m running Grails 1.0.4 which is the latest stable release.

The handling of default sort order in Grails/GORM seems to have been radically simplified in Grails 1.1:
