[Hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-892) HQL parser does not resolve alias in ORDER BY clause

Aleksei Valikov commented on HHH-892:
-------------------------------------

If not a bug then "really nice to have".

In Criteria API, you can order by the aliased column. In HQL not.

ps. Probably another story to "patch it yourself".

> When using an alias for an ORDER BY clause this is not always correctly resolved. Example:
> SELECT SUM(A.x) AS mySum FROM MyClass AS A GROUP BY A.y ORDER BY mySum
> does not work because "mySum" is not resolved in the ORDER BY clause which results in an exception telling that mySum is an unknown column.
> Workaround (not to say "hack") is using:
> SELECT SUM(A.x) AS mySum FROM MyClass AS A GROUP BY A.y ORDER BY col_0_0_
