How to list quotes asc?

[CaseT]

Hi,

How would I go about listing our quotes in ascending order. The code in
QuoteForms.xml calls performFind (see code below).
It basically gets all quotes and lists them by quoteId in descending order.
Is there a simple tag I can add to change that to asc order? I couldn't find
any examples.

Thanks,

  <actions>
            <service service-name="performFind" result-map-name="result"
result-map-list-name="listIt">
                <field-map field-name="inputFields" env-name="parameters"/>
                <field-map field-name="entityName" value="Quote"/>
            </service>
        </actions>

Something like this should work:
<field-map field-name="orderBy" value="quoteId DESC"/>
you can add additional fields to sort by using "|" as a separator, for
example:
<field-map field-name="orderBy" value="validFromDate DESC | validThruDate
ASC"/>

Scott

Scott is right; however the preferred (db independent) syntax is:

> <field-map field-name="orderBy" value="-quoteId"/>

I.e. you should use a "-" as a prefix to specify the DESC order
and a "+" prefix for an ASC order

Hi Jacopo

Much as I hate to argue with you, I think both approaches evaluate to the
same result.  Have a look at OrderByItem.java, the parse() method, line 66
in trunk.

Scott

yeah, you are right Scott!
I still prefer the +- syntax over the ASC/DESC (because it is more  
clearly a different syntax from the SQL one)  but it is definitely a  
matter of personal preference.
Thanks for pointing this out.
