Re: Order problem with deep association

yes, but now we're back to the same problem: we are sorting only the
one person record inside of each assignment, and we want to sort the
assignments. the programatic way you suggested works (i included what
I did below), but unlike contain, Set::sort() only takes one sort
parameter.

if (isset($area['Shift'])) {
foreach($area['Shift'] as &$shift) {
$shift['Assignment'] = Set::sort(
$shift['Assignment'],
"{n}.Person.resident_category_id",
"asc"
);
}
}
