Sequelize - SQL Server - order by for association tables

Question

I have 3 tables such as user, userProfile and userProfileImages. User is mapping with userPrfoile as has many and userProfile is mapping with userProfileImages as has many.

I need to write the order by query in userProfileImages, I tried as below, but no luck.

User.findById(uID, { 
include: [
   model: sequelize.models.userProfile
   as: userProfile,
   include: [
    {
      model: sequelize.models.userProfileImages,
      as: 'profileImages',

    }
   ],
    order: [[sequelize.models.userProfileImages.id, "desc"]]
  // order: [["id", "desc"]] --> Tried this way also no luck
] }

I am getting the result, but userProfilePicture table's result is not as desc.

Kindly give the solutions

Answer 1

From Sequelize offical docs:

    // Will order by an associated model's created_at using an association object. (preferred method)
    [Subtask.associations.Task, 'createdAt', 'DESC'],

    // Will order by a nested associated model's created_at using association objects. (preferred method)
    [Subtask.associations.Task, Task.associations.Project, 'createdAt', 'DESC'],

By referring above syntax, Update your order option like below

User.findById(uID, { 
    include: [{
        model: sequelize.models.userProfile
        as: userProfile,
        include: [{
           model: sequelize.models.userProfileImages,
           as: 'profileImages',
        }],
        order: [['profileImages','id', 'desc']]
    }]
});

Update your order in association like below

User.findById(uID, { 
include: [
    model: sequelize.models.userProfile,
    as: userProfile,        
    include: [{
       model: sequelize.models.userProfileImages,
       as: 'profileImages',
       separate:true
       order: [['id', 'desc']]
    }],
]});
