They show how to do this on the GORM page in the reference guide (section 5). The bit you want is near the bottom of that document is the section you want. They have two simple examples:

}

class Airport {
    …
    static mapping = {
        sort name:"desc"

    static mapping = {
        flights sort:'number'
    }
}
