Interface SortField<T>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - The field type
    All Superinterfaces:
    OrderField<T>, QueryPart, Serializable

    public interface SortField<T>

    A sort specification.

    The SQL ORDER BY clause accepts expressions based on Field, which may be enhanced by ASC or DESC as well as NULLS FIRST or NULLS LAST.

    Example:

     // Assuming import static org.jooq.impl.DSL.*;
    
     using(configuration)
        .select(ACTOR.FIRST_NAME, ACTOR.LAST_NAME)
        .from(ACTOR)
        .orderBy(ACTOR.LAST_UPDATE.desc().nullsLast())
        .fetch();
     

    Instances can be created using Field.asc(), Field.desc() and related methods.
