Can your try to use TYPE() or INSTANCE OF?

However, this topic doesn't say if it is implemented or not. At the time it was written someone said order by wouldn't work.

$dql = 'SELECT pd
        from
        AccountingBundle:PaymentDetail pd
        JOIN ClientProductBundle:ClientProduct cp
        WITH cp.payment_detail_id = pd.id
        WHERE
        cp.payment_detail_id = pd.id
        and cp.client_contact_id = :client_contact_id
        GROUP BY pd.id
        ORDER BY TYPE(pd)';
