[hibernate-dev] org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.CollectionBinder#buildOrderByClauseFromHql

[Steve Ebersole]

All, I need some help interpreting the code in 
org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.CollectionBinder#buildOrderByClauseFromHql

git annotate is showing me as the author though I know for sure I am 
not, so I am not sure who to ask...

I am addressing the problem of order by fragments and joined subclasses. 
  There are 2 forms of buildOrderByClauseFromHql, one for collections of 
entities and one for collections of components.  I basically gutted the 
one for collections of entities.  I am not sure what to do with the one 
for collections of components.  I commented it out and all the tests 
pass, but my guess is that there is simply not tests testing what that 
code is supposed to be doing.  And unfortunately the method has pretty 
high complexity but no comments explaining what is going on.

Anyone able to help with what this method is supposed to do?
