I want to show order of pagination result on basis of count review of host.I am trying to use concept of virtual fields to sort.
Please help me to suggest this ..

Refer to Cakephp websie
The implementation of virtualFields has a few limitations. First you
cannot use virtualFields on associated models for conditions, order,
or fields arrays.
However workaround is something along the lines with:
Review Model:
public $virtualFields = array('rw_count' => COUNT(Review.host_id));
Host Model:
class Host extends Model{
public function __construct($id = false, $table = null, $ds = null) {
parent::__construct($id, $table, $ds);
$this->virtualFields['rw_count'] = $this->Review->virtualFields['rw_count'];
}
}
Hosts Controller
public $paginate = array(
'limit' => 25,
'order' => array(
'rw_count' => 'desc'
)
);
Given that I don't have full details of your schema, this is what I presume what you could use but the concepts remain the same
