How to add a OrderBy in Jooq for a Routine?

Question

I am using below code

Transaction transaction = Transaction.current();
        SelectQuery<Record> selectQuery = transaction.selectQuery();
        selectQuery.addSelect(Folder.FOLDER.FOLDER_RSN, Routines.fFoldernumber(Folder.FOLDER.FOLDER_RSN).as("FolderNumber"),
                Folder.FOLDER.FOLDER_NAME, Folder.FOLDER.FOLDER_TYPE);
selectQuery.addFrom(FolderPeople.FOLDER_PEOPLE);

Now i want to add OrderBy on FolderNumber Something like below

selectQuery.addOrderBy("FolderNumber")

How to add OrderBy in the above case?

Answer 1

The stored functions generated by jOOQ implement org.jooq.Field, so you can simply add them to the ORDER BY clause:

selectQuery.addOrderBy(fFoldernumber(...));

Instead of repeating the whole call, you might also want to consider creating a local reference of your stored function call:

Field<?> folder = Routines.fFoldernumber(Folder.FOLDER.FOLDER_RSN).as("FolderNumber");
// ...
selectQuery.addSelect(..., folder);
selectQuery.addOrderBy(folder);
