Re: Pagination: Sort by count of related model (e.g. User - Posts)
Depending on how precise your information should be you can add a number_of_posts field to your users table and update the count periodically, you can also keep the field updated with database triggers, or create an action to run the update query from cakephp admin pages on demand. That's just another way of dealing with it. Regards On 13 jun, 13:11, DigitalDude e.blumsten...@googlemail.com wrote: Hey, I have a problem here and need to fix it.

Re: Pagination: Sort by count of related model (e.g. User - Posts)
Ideally, you should be able to create post_count as a virtualField and then sort by that, by as the cookbook states, the paginator can't order by virtualFields of associated models, so you wouldn't be able to sort by it. But there are two simple workarounds for this: http://book.cakephp.org/view/1608/Virtual-fields On Jun 13, 4:11 am, DigitalDude e.blumsten...@googlemail.com wrote: Hey, I have a problem here and need to fix it.

Re: Pagination: Sort by count of related model (e.g. User - Posts)
Would using the belongsTo models counterCache not be a better solution, so that it will not be necessary to perform the counting every time the users are listed with the post count?
