Allows setting default order for your tables.

Install

Using Composer:

composer require muffin/orderly

Then load the plugin using the console command:

bin/cake plugin load Muffin/Orderly

What is does

Orderly allow you to set default ORDER clause for your table's SELECT queries.

Usage

Here's how you can add the Orderly behavior for your tables:

// By default orders by display field of table.
$this->addBehavior('Muffin/Orderly.Orderly');

// Default ordering using specified field.
$this->addBehavior('Muffin/Orderly.Orderly', ['order' => $this->aliasField('field_name')]);

Value for order key can any valid value that \Cake\ORM\Query::orderBy() takes. The default order clause will only be applied to the primary query and when no custom order clause has already been set for the query.

You can also configure the behavior to apply the default order based on required condition using callback option. The order will be applied if callback returns true:

$this->addBehavior('Muffin/Orderly.Orderly', [
    'order' => ['Alias.field_name' => 'DESC'],
    'callback' => function (\Cake\ORM\Query $query, \ArrayObject $options, bool $primary) {
        //return a boolean
    }
]);

The behavior can also be configured with multiple orders which are applied based on return value of their respective callbacks:

$this->addBehavior('Muffin/Orderly.Orderly', [
    [
        'order' => ['Alias.field_name' => 'DESC'],
        'callback' => function (\Cake\ORM\Query $query, \ArrayObject $options, bool $primary) {
            //return a boolean
        }
    ],
    [
        'order' => ['Alias.another_field'],
        'callback' => function (\Cake\ORM\Query $query, \ArrayObject $options, bool $primary) {
            //return a boolean
        }
    ],
]);
