Order

The Order(@Nullable Direction direction, String property) method defined in Order class is used to sort the retrives the records from underlying database using sort direction provided based on property.

drop database if exists AppleDb;
create database AppleDb;

insert into hibernate_sequence values ( 1 );
insert into apple (apple_id, apple_name, taste) values (1, "Macintosh", "tangy");

Sort by(Order... orders) method takes array of Orders, so if required , we can pass Order on mulitple properties.
