symfony doctrine admin generator sort by virtual columns

I'm working with the Sym开发者_JAVA百科fony doctrine admin generator.

I've added a couple of virtual columns as detailed on this page http://www.symfony-project.org/jobeet/1_4/Doctrine/en/12

What I want to be able to do is sort my list based on those virtual columns.

That is how to do it with the Propel plugin but that details the use of a "sort_method" configuration in the yaml generator file, no such configuration item exists for the Doctrine admin generator.

Just wonder if there is something I'm missing? Thanks

Looks like I need to use this plugin:

http://www.symfony-project.org/plugins/DbFinderPlugin

It's this plugin that gives the "sort_method" configuration ability.

Hmmm, seems like a lot of work for something as simple as sorting by a different column.
