Get all entities ordered with Doctrine query builder - php

Question

I'm getting a little crazy with this. I have a PhoneCodes entity and I simply want to retrieve all entities ordered by a field so no where condition but I tried to achieve this by many ways and not working. Currently I have this:
$phonecodes = $this->getDoctrine()
->getRepository('AcmeDemoBundle:PhoneCodes')
->createQueryBuilder('p')
->orderBy('p.length', 'ASC')
->getQuery()
->getResult();
What's the way to do this? Thanks.

Answer 1

Your code should be something like this:
$phonecodes = $this->getEntityManager()
->createQueryBuilder()
->select("p")
->from("AcmeDemoBundle:PhoneCodes", "p")
->orderBy("p.length", "ASC")
->getQuery()
->getResult()

If you're in a controller just do this:
$phonecodes = $em->getRepository('AcmeDemoBundle:PhoneCodes')->findBy(
array(),//conditions, none in this case
array(//orderBy, multiple possible
"length"=>"asc"
)
);
This way you don't need to write a custom repository function.
If you wan't to create it as a repository function (e.g. in PhoneCodesRepository.php) do it that way:
/**
* Returns all phoneCodes hydrated to objects ordered by length
* #param string $order - ASC | DESC
* #return \Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection
*/
function findAllOrderedByLength($order="ASC")
{
$qb = $this->createQueryBuilder("p");
$qb->orderBy("p.length", $order);
return $qb->getQuery()->getResult();
}
