[DDC-2260] Partial DQL query doesn't respect given order of columns

Sun, 27 Jan 2013 15:48:58 +0000

When executing partial DQL queries it may be important to keep given order of columns e.g. for "pairs" hydrator when first column of a pair is used as a key and second - as value. For example query like this:

select partial u.{id,name} from my:User u

will expect "id" to be first in resulted set and "name" to be second and not vice versa.

However Doctrine parses this part of statement via iterating over fields mapping from entity's class metadata (as can be seen in Doctrine\ORM\Query\SqlWalker::walkSelectExpression()):

foreach ($class->fieldMappings as $fieldName => $mapping) {
  if ($partialFieldSet && ! in_array($fieldName, $partialFieldSet)) {
    continue;
  }
  ...

and hence given columns order preserving is not guaranteed.
