Spring Data REST “findBy…” not sorting












0















I have a Spring Boot API (using 2.0.5.RELEASE spring-boot-starter-parent) and I'm using the spring-boot-starter-rest package to generate the endpoints for my API. In one of the repositories I have the following method:



@Repository
public interface RackPositionDao extends JpaRepository<RackPosition, String> {
List<RackPosition> findByRack(@Param("rack") Rack rack);
}


Which exposes an endpoint at http://{base}/api/v1/rackPositions/findByRack



If I then call




http://{base}/api/v1/rackPositions/findByRack?rack={rack
url}&sort=positionNumber,asc




in Postman, the list returned isn't sorted. 'positionNumber' is a property on the RackPosition entity.



However if I change the repository method to



@Repository
public interface RackPositionDao extends JpaRepository<RackPosition, String> {
List<RackPosition> findByRackOrderByPositionNumberAsc(@Param("rack") Rack rack);
}


and then call




http://{base}/api/v1/rackPositions/findByRackOrderByPositionNumberAsc?rack={rack
url}




it works fine. Is there a reason why the sort parameter doesn't work?

  • I have always used the findBy...OrderBy.. interfaces - where have you seem that a sort parameter would work?

    @MatthewSatti As described at the bottom of this page, you shouldn't use the findBy part in the URL, and the structure of the URL looks a bit different

    JpaRepository interface extends PagingAndSortingRepository interface.



    So, you can use endpoint as
    http://{base}/api/v1/rackPositions/findbyRack or http://{base}/api/v1/rackPositions/find-byRack

    by avoiding camel caps.

      There are 2 ways to sort result in Spring data JPA





      1. Using Custom JPA Query as below



        @Query("Select r from rack order by position_number ASC")



      2. Using JPA custom methods (as you used : findByRackOrderByPositionNumberAsc())



      3. Passing Sort object in repository method as below



        List<RackPosition> findByRack(@Param("rack") Rack rack,org.springframework.data.domain.Sort sort);




      and call the method as below



      Sort sort = new Sort(new Sort.Order(Direction.ASC, "lastName"));
      Object obj = repo.findByRack(rackObject, sort);
