Wouldn't it be a good idea for the generated methods to have the extra int argument?
It is a bit more involved than that. The problem with including this in Cayenne is that it won't work in a more general case. E.g. if you add an object at a particular index, and the master object is later invalidated and refetched, the order will be lost. Or if it is refetched by another user. So Scott's answer was essentially correct.
We tried to solve it from another angle, by defining a certain column as the "ordering" column to instruct Cayenne to order fetched relationship lists. It is still on the table, but it is also hairy...
For now I can't think of a clean generic solution that would map to a DB. The ordering column is the closest I can think of.
Thanks, Andrus
