Hibernate Criteria Ordering Example

In this tutorial you will learn about the Hibernate Criteria Projection Ordering.

In Hibernate Criteria query to arrange the result set in ascending or descending order a method addOrder(Order.asc|desc()) is used.

Example

In the example given below I have used the order both ascending and descending. To order the result set in specific ordering system I have list the field first using Projections.projectionList() method in setProjection() method you can specify the number of columns by using the Projections.projectionList().add(Projections.property()) and added the properties that I want to display using the method add(Projections.property()) method then added the addOrder(Order.asc|desc()) method for ordering the projections. Then as an output displayed the list on console in their specific order.

Table goodsdealer

CREATE TABLE `goodsdealer` ( 
`goodsDealerId` int(15) NOT NULL, 
`orderedGoodsName` varchar(15) default NULL, 
`numOfGoodsOrder` int(20) default NULL, 
`priceOfGoods` int(10) default NULL 
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1

GoodsDealer.java

package roseindia;

public class GoodsDealer {
private int goodsDealerId;

this.goodsDealerId = goodsDealerId;
this.numOfGoodsOrder = numOfGoodsOrder;
this.orderedGoodsName = orderedGoodsName;
}
public int getPriceOfGoods() {
return priceOfGoods;
}
public void setPriceOfGoods(int priceOfGoods) {
this.priceOfGoods = priceOfGoods;

Output :

1. table goodsdealer

2. When you will execute the HibernateCriteriaOrderingExample.java file (RightClick -> RunAs -> Java Application) the following queries respective to both ascending and descending and the output will be displayed on console as :

Hibernate Query for ascending order

INFO: HHH000397: Using ASTQueryTranslatorFactory
Hibernate: select this_.numOfGoodsOrder as y0_, this_.priceOfGoods as y1_ from goodsdealer this_ order by this_.numOfGoodsOrder asc

2.1 Output of ascending order list is as follows :

2.2 Output of descending order list is as follows :
