EntityQuery and ordering issue
------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-3550
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3550
             Project: Seam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0.CR1
            Reporter: Jarek Gilewski

I cannot call

setOrderColumn("pi.payment.name"); // for joined tables

for EntityQuery.

I got 

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: invalid order column
	at org.jboss.seam.framework.Query.sanitizeOrderColumn(Query.java:445)
	at org.jboss.seam.framework.Query.setOrderColumn(Query.java:436)

I can see at Query.java that the column name is checked with pattern "\\w*$" (ORDER_COLUMN_PATTERN) wich i guess don't allowe the dot in the order column name. 

Can we chcenge the ORDER_COLUMN_PATTERN to allow ordering by related columns? 

I think it should be something like this '^(\w+)(\.\w+)*$'.
