Hi there,

If I have a class that has a relation to another class and want to retrieve a DatabaObjectSet through the relation, can I also use filtering and sorting in the method call. For example:

<code>
Class myClass extends Page {

static $has_many = array { 'Students' => 'Student'; }
...
...
$mySeniorStudents = $this->Students('LasttName ASC', 'Age > 16');
}
</code>

I couldn't find any docs on this but I guess I'm trying to find something similar to the DataObject::get($obj, $filter, $sort, $join, $limit) method. If there is documentation, can you pls. provide the url?

thanks!
Steve

Yer, this is one of those 'hidden Gems'. I don't think it is documented.

But it is important to note that this returns a ComponentSet not a DataObjectSet

PS: it is hinted at here: http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=datamodel#custom_relation_getters

thanks Pigeon!
