(1) I’m running Cake 1.3.x and first tried as a plugin and using $actAs = array(‘Sequence.Sequence’);
I get an error ‘ModelBehavior class not found’

I moved it over to app/model/behaviors and adjusted $actAs accordingly and it now works.

(2) It seems the Behavior is using a depreciated method Set::isEqual() so I went with this fork https://github.com/Theaxiom/sequence

(3) Ordering seems to work and I’ve found the moveup() movedown() methods but when I delete records there are now gaps in the numeric ordering. So I move a record up/down and it increments/deincrements the order column but only by one resulting in no order change when in encounters with a gap in the ordering.

(4) My controller’s add() action always inserts the row with order=-1 rather than at the end of the order as the Behavior describes. I am calling $this->MyModel->create(); which I think hinders the Behaviors ability to detect that this is a new record around line 197-200.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated and keep up the good work!!!

Thanks for the MIT license too.

Thanks for shared!

Nice work btw.

E.g. in beforeSave() > Editing > Changing group > Order not specified section, change it to:

// Insert at end of new group
$model->data[$model->alias][$orderField] = $this->_getHighestOrder(
$model,
array_merge(
$this->_oldGroups[$model->alias]
$this->_newGroups[$model->alias]
)
) + 1;

I’ll check it out when I get chance, and add it with suitable test cases.

fwiw, I’m grouping on three columns, and I find that I need to specify the value for each of the three when I want to change the value of any one of them. That is, if I change the value of one grouping field, I need to also provide the existing values for the other two fields when I update the record.

Otherwise _getHighestOrder() will not find any matching records, and will use the default start_at order number.

This is probably the expected behavior, but I thought I’d mention it.

Thanks for fixing some problems, but found some new ^^. If both belonging models have sequence behaviour i was getting fatal error.

Fatal error: [] operator not supported for strings in C:\..\cake\libs\model\datasources\dbo_source.php on line 1126

For ex. User belongsTo Group and both have behaviour attached.
Have find quick fix 171 line change:
$queryData['order']
to
$queryData['order'][]

i would commit changes but never used git ^^
