Sort by field in super class ( inherited by prototyping )

Asked by Gautam

Hi,
I am trying to sort the employee tree view by the employee name but an simple "_order" will not work because the name is inherited from resource.resource. Is there another way to do this ?

Thanks

IMHO OpenERP should provide a class for easy sorting

like opener_sort(class_name, [(column to sort, asc/desc), ....] )
which returns sorted ids

Hi Ferdinand,
I have overriden the search method in the hr_employee class which seems to do the trick.
    def search(self, cr, user, args, offset=0, limit=None, order=None, context=None, count=False):
        if not order:
            order = "name asc"
        return super(hr_employee, self).search(cr, user, args, offset=offset, limit=limit, order=order,
            context=context, count=count)

However, I still feel the _order should take into account the inherited fields as they do form part of the class.

Hello Gautam,
This is the anohter trick to sort the inherited field. You can do the same thing adding the related field in "hr_employee".

 _columns = {
        'resource_name': fields.related('resource_id', 'name', string="Name", type='char', size=128, store=True)
...
}

_order = 'resource_name'
