Using CakePHP 2.0 here. The title is a bit misleading, so to clear things up - I have session array which is populated with ids of products as user adds them to cart. So this array goes like [0] => 25, [1] => 70 etc. Let's say this array is called $products.
What I want to ask is is there some possibility to have array which I get by using 'find' model's function ('conditions' => array('Product.id' => $products)) to be sorted not by some of Model.field values (as in 'order' option), but by $products array indices, so that when I render the order contents in view I would get all those products in cart sorted in such order as user added them.
Here's an example -
Session array $products:
[0] => 35,
[1] => 15,
[2] => 25
Then I pass this array to conditions of find function:
$list = $this->Product->find('all', array('conditions' => array('Product.id' => $products)));
In the end $list gives me array which sorted by product.id. So instead of having:
[0] => Array
(
[Product] => Array
(
[id] => 35 )),
[1] => Array
(
[Product] => Array
(
[id] => 15 )),
[2] => Array
(
[Product] => Array
(
[id] => 25 ))
I get:
[0] => Array
(
[Product] => Array
(
[id] => 15 )),
[1] => Array
(
[Product] => Array
(
[id] => 25 )),
[2] => Array
(
[Product] => Array
(
[id] => 35 ))
