HQL parser does not resolve alias in ORDER BY clause ----------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-892 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-892 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: query-hql Affects Versions: 3.0.5 Environment: Hibernate 3.0.5, MySQL, Tomcat Reporter: Guido Laures Priority: Minor When using an alias for an ORDER BY clause this is not always correctly resolved.
