Re: sorting/ordering with foreign key

2009-01-31 Thread brian

I think that needs to be:

$this->Invoice->find('all',array(),array(), 'invno_id DESC')

When using find() in that way, the $order param isn't an array and, in
any case, the way you had it would be a syntax error.

Personally, I always set up my find like:

$filters = array(
  'conditions' => array(...),
  'order' => array('Invoice.invno_id' => 'DESC'),
   etc.
);

$this->Invoice->find('all', $filters);

sorting/ordering with foreign key

2009-01-30 Thread forrestgump

Hey Guys,
 Consider the following example
I have 2 tables

table1: invnos
fields: id,invno

table2: invoices
fields: id,invno_id

now i wish to write a query that will order my find in the invoices
table according to  the invno in the invnos table

can someone help me out with it...the best i could write is...

$this->Invoice->find('all',array(),array(),'order' => 'invno_id DESC')

but it seems to be ordering by the invno_id that i stored in the
invoices table

thanx in advance,
Forrestgump
