Order by children property in Grails

Question

Is it possible to create a criteria that lists all objects sorted by sope property of their children? For example:

class Post {
    User owner
}

Post.withCriteria {
    order('owner.registerDate', 'asc')
}

It fails with message: Error 500: org.hibernate.QueryException: could not resolve property: owner.registerDate of: Post

What is the right way to do it?

Thanks in advance.

this isn't supported by grails out of the box but there's a plugin that enables this feature:
