propel pseudo column sorting

Question

Basically I want to make a pseudo column by which I\'ll sort. This is my SQL Query

SELECT I.*, ((I.width*175)/I.height) as relativeWidth
FROM Image I
order by r

Such requirements are possible in version 1.5+ of Propel. You are strongly encouraged to upgrade since it is fully backwards-compatible, with a lot of new features and fixes.

You just need to learn about the new ActiveQuery api instead of the ol' good Criteria. That way you can solve your problem using "virtual columns", just look here: http://www.propelorm.org/reference/model-criteria.html#adding_columns

If you are using Propel inside symfony, just install the sfPropelORMPlugin from https://github.com/propelorm/sfPropelORMPlugin and follow the README file to get it working.

Good luck!
