@OneToMany - Return Order

[RogerV]

Hi

Is it possible to define the return order when a parent entity calls getChildren() in a @OneToMany relationship. or do I need to sort the collection "manually" in my program?

Regards

Have a look at the @OrderBy annotation which can be specified with your
@OneToMany relationship.

Cheers,
Guy

Thanks. That works a lot better after I'd changed the collection type from a Set to a List :(
