group_concat with orderBy

[Mopster]

Hi,

I'm trying to order the data in a group_concat but can't figure out how to do it.

Email is an ORM entity with a isPrimary boolean. I need the primary email addresses to be first. In the grid (export) the ORM orderBy is ignored.

    /**
     * A Person can have many Emails.
     *
     * @ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="Email", mappedBy="person", cascade={"persist", "remove"}, orphanRemoval=true)
     * @ORM\OrderBy({"isPrimary" = "DESC", "inactive" = "ASC"})
     * @Grid\Column(field="emails.value:group_concat:order_by:emails.isPrimary:desc", title="email", visible=false, export=true) // primary emailaddress
     * @Grid\Column(field="emails.value:group_concat:distinct", title="all emails", visible=false, export=true)
     * @Assert\Count(min = "1", groups={"Preregistration", "Registration", "Custom"}),
     */
    protected $emails;

I tried several syntax versions of emails.value:group_concat:order_by:emails.isPrimary:desc but no so far no luck. the group_concat seems to support an orderBy property : https://github.com/beberlei/DoctrineExtensions/pull/111/files

Is this supported ? If so, how do I use it ? If not, is there another way I can get the emails sorted correctly ?

You can initialize source with a QueryBuilder that extract data ordered with this fashion.

So something like

$source = new GridEntity('VendoBundle:Entity');
$qb = $this
    ->getDoctrine()
    ->getRepository('VendoBundle:Entity')
    ->getAQueryBuilder();
$source->initQueryBuilder($qb);
$grid->setSource($source);

Of course doing it in annotation could be smarter and easier to reuse everywhere but, ATM, I don't know if it works or not.
I should check properly but I don't have much time this period.
