How to use OrderBy with findAll in Spring Data

Question

I am using spring data and my DAO looks like

public interface StudentDAO extends JpaRepository<StudentEntity, Integer> {     public findAllOrderByIdAsc();   // I want to use some thing like this } 

In above code, commented line shows my intent. Can spring Data provides inbuilt functionality to use such a method to find all records order by some column with ASC/DESC?

Answer 1

public interface StudentDAO extends JpaRepository<StudentEntity, Integer> {     public List<StudentEntity> findAllByOrderByIdAsc(); } 

The code above should work. I'm using something similar:

public List<Pilot> findTop10ByOrderByLevelDesc(); 

It returns 10 rows with the highest level.

IMPORTANT: Since I've been told that it's easy to miss the key point of this answer, here's a little clarification:

findAllByOrderByIdAsc(); // don't miss "by"        ^
