Dear all, I suspect this is either really easy or very hard. I've been through endless apparently similar questions on here but haven't been able to figure out the answer.
I have a "Quote" model, which I am trying to list in a view. Quote belongsTo Attendance which belongs to Person. I am trying to sort the list of quotes by the first_name field in the Person model. The array being sent to the view is Array ( [0] => Array ( [Quote] => Array ( [id] => 1 [attendance_id] => 15 [quote_text] => Hello ) [Attendance] => Array ( [id] => 15 [person_id] => 2 [trip_id] => 7 [Person] => Array ( [id] => 2 [first_name] => John [last_name] => Smith ) ) ) } This seems to work fine, and in the view, I can echo out foreach ($quotes as $quote) { echo $quote['Attendance']['Person']['first_name']; } without any problem. What I cannot get to work is accessing/using the same variable as a sort field in paginate echo $this->Paginator->sort('Name', 'Attendance.Person.first_name'); or echo $this->Paginator->sort('Location', 'Attendance.Trip.location'); Does not work. It appears to sort by something, but I'm not sure what. Am I using the correct syntax?. Is there something I should be doing in a model or controller to make this work? Thanks in advance.
