Therefore, I have replaced findGroupTasks() with the following code: +         taskList = getTaskService().createTaskQuery()             .candidate(filter.getUsername())             .orderDesc(TaskQuery.PROPERTY_CREATEDATE)             .page(startRow, maxResults)             .list();+ The problem is that the resulting list is not ordered. By  debugging jBPM sources, I've found that the problem is in the class  org.jbpm.pvm.internal.query.TaskQueryImpl within the method +public String hql()+ Here the ORDER BY clause is added only if I'm not searching for Candidate. The original code is the following: +.... + +if (candidate == null && !count)       appendOrderByClause(hql);+ +....+ Why in your opinion is there such a condition? How can I do to obtain an ordered and paged list for a candidate user? Thanks you in advance, Fabio -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/566407#566407] Start a new discussion in jBPM Development at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
