Does spring data rest supports sorting on inherited fields?

[prasannabalaraman]

My entity class extends an audit class with audit fields (createdDate, createdBy, modifiedDate, modifiedBy). My repo extends PagingAndSortingRepository. Sorting is not working if I use any of the audit fields but it works if I pass any of the fields in the entity class.

I am using spring data rest 2.7.12.

{{baseUrl}}/{{apiVersion}}/{{apiContext}}/apps?sort=createdDate,desc&size=50

I also noticed "order by" in the generated sql for the entity class fields but not for the audit class fields.

Appreciate your help.

After further analysis I figured out that I had @JsonIgnore on those audit fields. That was the reason it did not work. I removed it and it is working now. This issue can be closed.
