[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-1821) Sorting based on an optionally associated column

Sorting based on an optionally associated column ------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-1821 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1821 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Components: query-criteria Affects Versions: 3.1 rc2 Environment: JBoss 4.0.3SP1, Oracle 8.1 Reporter: Mohammed Sadiq Attachments: CmnCampusSchoolMstT.hbm.xml Hi, I have a table containing 3 assocations; out of which one is optional. When I give an order by clause for the optional assocation column (with an alias name in the Criteria) I get only those records for which this column has values, other records with null values are not listed. As I went through the query generated by Hibernate I am surprised to see that the outer join symbol (+) was not there for this column, but was there when I try to order according to other associated columns. I have attached my HBM file for your reference. Any suggestion will be more helpful. Thanks & Regards Mohammed Sadiq
