Sort entity by method

[yalagin]

API-platform sort entity only by arguments. it will be nice to sort entity by methods too
for example, I want to sort workouts in day of week order

@ApiResource(attributes={"order"={"DayOfWeekOrder": "ASC"}})
class Workout 
{
/**
     * @var string|null
     * it's Monday/Wensday ...
     * @ORM\Column(type="string", nullable=true)
     * @Assert\Choice(callback={"DayOfWeek", "toArray"})
     *  @Groups({"withWorkouts","workout"})
     */
    private $dayOfWeek;

    public function DayOfWeekOrder(){
        return DayOfWeek::ORDER[$this->dayOfWeek];
    }
}

class DayOfWeek extends Enum
{
    public const ORDER = [
        self::MONDAY => 1,
        self::TUESDAY => 2,
        self::WEDNESDAY => 3,
        self::THURSDAY => 4,
        self::FRIDAY => 5,
        self::SATURDAY => 6,
        self::SUNDAY => 7,
        ];

    public const FRIDAY = 'Friday';
    public const MONDAY = 'Monday';
//and so on 
}

for now I am doing it in front-end

I'm not sure what you mean. Where do we sort by arguments?

[yalagin]

@teohhanhui we have entity workout with string property dayOfWeek
workouts: [{id : 1, dayOfWeek : Moday},{id :2, dayOfWeek : Friday}]
if I want to sort days of the week in particular order form Monday to Sunday (or from today to the rest of the week )

it will nice to add to an entity some method that returns the number that we assign to the string and make sorting by it.

and we can just simply add to the docs of entity
@ApiResource(attributes={"order"={"DayOfWeekOrder": "ASC"}})
like I described above
