Ordered many-to-many are not currently supported, and I'm not sure how
efficient it would be to do it, from a performance point of view. A reorder
would result in a lot of updates if keeping the sort indexes in the
many-to-many table.
You could maybe use this variant, in which you define the many-to-many
relation object yourself:
Entity EntityA {
String name key
- List<@EntityABRelation> relatedTypeBs opposite entityA
}
ValueObject EntityABRelation {
- @EntityA entityA opposite relatedTypeBs
- @EntityB entityB opposite relatedTypeAs
}
Entity EntityB {
String name key
- List<@EntityABRelation> relatedTypeAs opposite entityB
}
But, I would suggest another design. Maybe storing the ordered ids as a
comma separated string in EntityA and use a Set for the many-to-many
association and do the sorting in java.
