Answer 1

If you want to be sure that you always get your relations in the order based on current property values, you can do something like this:

$sort = new Criteria(null, ['Order' => Criteria::ASC]);
return $this->yourCollectionProperty->matching($sort);

Use that for example if you've changed the Order property. Works great for a "Last modified date" as well.
