All, I need some help interpreting the code in org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.CollectionBinder#buildOrderByClauseFromHql git annotate is showing me as the author though I know for sure I am not, so I am not sure who to ask... I am addressing the problem of order by fragments and joined subclasses. There are 2 forms of buildOrderByClauseFromHql, one for collections of entities and one for collections of components. I basically gutted the one for collections of entities. I am not sure what to do with the one for collections of components. I commented it out and all the tests pass, but my guess is that there is simply not tests testing what that code is supposed to be doing. And unfortunately the method has pretty high complexity but no comments explaining what is going on. Anyone able to help with what this method is supposed to do? -- steve(a)hibernate.org http://hibernate.org
