Hi Melanie
thanks for your kind reply.
I meant general sorting, not necessarily in the view, something like
SELECT * FROM User inner join Group order by Group.name
I think it's quite amazing such a basic feature could not be achieved
with CakePHP, a workaround has to exist (different from manually
sorting pagination results).
