Possible feature request - Sorting objects in Associations
6
When selecting objects via an association, I don't see the ability to sort my object list... Now, I'm thinking that this would be a very handy feature. Designing your model to leverage object retrieval and storage via associations is beneficial, but sometimes restricts one to sort the objects before you present them, or run sequential logic off of them. Also, datagrids on forms that take associations as their datasource don't sort the objects either. Is there another approach to this? Retrieving from database is an option for some cases but not all. Self-referential associations are tricky to query via XPath as the ownership is always from the entity being selected from. So is there another approach, or is this a nice Feature request for Mendix?
