Re: Order problem with deep association

Not sure if I understood the question, but if you want Alix to appear
before Shantam you can sort the assignment array with Set::sort

Assuming your data array is called $shifts, you could do it like this

foreach($shifts as $i => $shift) {
$shifts[$i]['Assignment'] = Set::sort($data['Assignment'],
'{n}.Person.name', 'asc');
}
