How to order result of hibernate based on a specific order

Question

I need to send a query to retrieve values that has a specific group of characters as following:

Lets say I am interested in \'XX\' so it should search for any field

You can use Predicates in criteria... something like this:

public List findByParameter(String key, String value, String orderKey)

            CriteriaBuilder builder = this.entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
            CriteriaQuery criteria = builder.createQuery(this.getClazz());
            Root root = criteria.from(Name.getClass());
            criteria.select(root);
            List predicates = new ArrayList();
            predicates.add(builder.equal(root.get(key), value));
            criteria.where(predicates.toArray(new Predicate[predicates.size()]));
            if (orderKey!=null  && !orderKey.isEmpty()) {
                criteria.orderBy(builder.asc(root.get(orderKey)));
            }
            result = this.entityManager.createQuery(criteria).getResultList();

        return result;
}
