How to order by multiple columns with propel

问题

I need to sort a query by 2 columns. Is this possible using propel?

i tried:

$c->addAscendingOrderByColumn(self::COL1);
$c->addAscendingOrderByColumn(self::COL2);

but the second call to addAscendingOrderByColumn overrides the first one.

Regards, Radu.

Unfortunately, if you are using Propel 1.4 (Symfony 1.4), it seems that you will have to switch to raw SQL there...

No answer in the (old) Symfony forum : http://oldforum.symfony-project.org/index.php/m/90447/

However, since Propel 1.5 it should work with the new syntax (Doctrine style). It's not detailed in Propel doc but when I test this, it works (gives ORDER BY author.name ASC, author.id DESC).

$authors = AuthorQuery::create()
  ->orderByName()
  ->orderById('desc')
  ->find();

Maybe consider upgrading to Propel 1.5.

I was struggling with this issue and after reading this post I have been almost gave up... but suddendly I found this solution:

$criteria->addAscendingOrderByColumn(ClassPeer::COLUMN1)->addAscendingOrderByColumn(ClassPeer::COLUMN2);

In this way the second call to addAscendingOrderByColumn will add the order to the first one.
