Symfony: how to sort One2Many/Many2One of an entity? - php

Question

I've three entities: Product, ProductPicture and Picture.
I'd like to sort the pictures by it's position and tried this, code below.
Result: it's not sorting the joined pictures by position. It's sorting the products by the pictures' position.
I'm confused. As far as I can see, I followed the docs, but get a weird result. Cache was cleared.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Entity: Product
// ...
class Product {
/**
* #ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer")
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\GeneratedValue
*/
protected $id;
/**
* #ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="ProductPicture", mappedBy="product")
* #ORM\OrderBy({"position" = "DESC"}) // <------ !!!
*/
protected $pictures;
// ...
}
Entity: ProductPicture
// ...
class ProductPicture {
/**
* #ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer")
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\GeneratedValue
*/
protected $id;
/**
* #ORM\Column(type="integer")
*/
protected $position;
/**
* #ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Product", inversedBy="pictures")
* #ORM\JoinColumn(name="product_id", referencedColumnName="id")
*/
protected $product;
/**
* #ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Picture")
* #ORM\JoinColumn(name="picture_id", referencedColumnName="id")
*/
protected $picture;
// ...
}
Entity: Picture
// ...
class Picture {
/**
* #ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer")
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\GeneratedValue
*/
protected $id;
/**
* #ORM\Column(name="path", type="string")
*/
protected $path;
// ...
}

The docs are right:
<?php
/** #Entity **/
class User
{
// ...
/**
* #ManyToMany(targetEntity="Group")
* #OrderBy({"name" = "ASC"})
**/
private $groups;
}
In my case the findAll()-method of the repository was overwritten which led to this mess. Make sure, your customized queries are not in conflict with the doctrine defaults, if you've the same issue. :-)
