[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (HHH-6875) @OrderBy on @ElementCollection of basic type should "order by value"

@OrderBy on @ElementCollection of basic type should "order by value" -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-6875 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6875 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 4.0.0.CR7 Reporter: Christian Bauer Priority: Minor JPA 2.0 spec says: "The OrderBy annotation may be applied to an element collection. When OrderBy is applied to an element collection of basic type, the ordering will be by value of the basic objects and the property_or_field_name is not used." Hibernate currently ignores @OrderBy on @ElementCollection on e.g. List<String>. The order of elements is as returned by the database, undefined. The question is what "by value of the basic objects" means. In-memory String comparison, etc.? If it turns out "by value" means "whatever is returned by the database", this issue can be closed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
