Patrick Lübbecke ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=61a7428... ) *created* an issue Hibernate ORM ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiZGIyNGRkN2Yx... ) / Improvement ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-15599?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiZGIyNG... ) HHH-15599 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-15599?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiZGIyNG... ) Support conditional order-by clauses in QueryBuilder ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-15599?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiZGIyNG... ) Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 5.6.12 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 12/Oct/2022 03:53 AM Priority: Minor Reporter: Patrick Lübbecke ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=61a7428... ) I would like to add conditional order by operators to CriteriaBuilder like that: order by rmgtnav_path, rmgtnav_collection_type<>'PROFILE', rmgtnav_denotation asc Or as Order objects: List<Order> orderStatements = new ArrayList(); orderStatements.add(cb.asc(root.get("rmgtnav_path"))); orderStatements.add(cb.asc(cb.notEqual(root.get("rmgtnav_collection_type"), "PROFILE"))); orderStatements.add(cb.asc(root.get("rmgtnav_denotation"))); criteriQuery.orderBy(orderStatements); Query query = session.createQuery(cq); What the rmgtnav_collection_type<> 'Profile' part does is to resolve the statement as a boolean which is true (1) or false (0) and start sorting with collection_type = Profile on top in my case. Unfortunately, I get an error when calling session.createQuery(cq) method: org.hibernate.hql.internal.ast.QuerySyntaxException: unexpected AST node: <> near line 1, column 596 [select generatedAlias0 from com.myapp.core.rmgt.rate.business.object.RmgtBVOImpl as generatedAlias0 where ( generatedAlias0.collectionType<>:param0 ) and ( ( generatedAlias0.collectionSubType<>:param1 ) or ( generatedAlias0.collectionSubType is null ) ) and ( ( lower(generatedAlias0.profileStatus) like :param2 ) and ( ( generatedAlias0.type=:param3 ) or ( generatedAlias0.type=:param4 ) ) ) and ( generatedAlias0.enabled=:param5 ) and ( ( generatedAlias0.owner=:param6 ) or ( generatedAlias0.owner=:param7 ) ) order by generatedAlias0.path asc, generatedAlias0.collectionType<>:param8 asc, generatedAlias0.denotation asc] I think it would be beneficial, If criteriaBuilder would also allow to add these kind of statements.
