Answer 1

This happened to me to. You have to add to the paginate function the third parameter $whitelist. For example.

$this->Paginator->settings = array(
        'conditions'=>array('ChatCategoryImage.chat_category_id'=>$cetegory_id),
        'fields'=>$fields,
        'limit' => 10,
        'order' => $order,
);
$scope =  array();
$whitelist = array('ChatCategoryImage.id', ...); //The fields you want to allow ordering.

$getCategoryImages = $this->Paginator->paginate('ChatCategoryImage', $scope, $whitelist);
pr($getCategoryImages);

I do not know why this is happening. I tried to see the code inside the paginate function but i could not figure it out.

Answer 2

Your code was lil wrong

    $this->paginate = array(
                   'conditions' => array('ChatCategoryImage.chat_category_id'=>$cetegory_id), 
                   'limit' => 10, 'order' => 'Frequency' => 'DESC');
    $getAllCourses = $this->paginate('ChatCategoryImage');

Answer 3

You can use virtualFields

$this->ChatCategoryImage->virtualFields = array('Frequency' => 'hits/(DATEDIFF(NOW(),created))');

changing the way of order

$order = array('Frequency' => 'desc');
