Sequelize ordering bug in multi join - mysql

Question

I have Users table, that related to many Stations and each user has relation with Info table, that contains fields firstName and lastName. I grab it like this:
const joinUserInfo: any = {
model: userInfoModel,
where: { deletedAt: null },
required: true,
};
const joinStations = {
model: stationModel,
required: true,
};
const notFormatedItems = await this.userRepository.findAll({
where: { role: 'user' },
include: [joinUserInfo, joinStations],
paranoid: false,
order,
});
Than I have a method to build order. It looks like this:
private createAdminsListOrdering(query) {
const validOrderingItems = [];
if (query.fullName) {
validOrderingItems.push(['info', 'lastName', query.fullName]);
validOrderingItems.push(['info', 'firstName', query.fullName]);
}
if (query.email) {
validOrderingItems.push(['email', query.email]);
}
if (query.station) {
validOrderingItems.push(['stations', 'name', query.station]);
}
return validOrderingItems.push(['createdAt', 'DESC']);
}
In cases with email or stations all works correct. But with info it say that didn't see and info column. When I remove stations from join like this:
const notFormatedItems = await this.userRepository.findAll({
where: { role: 'user' },
include: [joinUserInfo],
paranoid: false,
order,
});
My ordering by firstName and lastName working correct. What i do wrong? Thank you.
Users related with Stations as many-to-many:
#BelongsToMany(
() => stationModel,
() => userStationModel,
)
stations?: stationModel[];

The problem was in pagination... I use custom function to create pagination:
export const paginatedQuery = ({ page = 0, pageSize = 0 }) => {
if (!pageSize) {
return {};
}
const limit = pageSize;
const offset = page * pageSize;
return { offset, limit };
};
And full my request was:
const notFormatedItems = await this.userRepository.findAll({
where: { role: 'user' },
include: [joinUserInfo, joinStations],
paranoid: false,
order,
...paginatedQuery(query),
});
And, when I debug request with logging i notice, that my Info table is in subquery. Then I began to googling about subqueries in sequelize and found flag subQuery, that force to not use subqueries. After this my request works fine:
const notFormatedItems = await this.userRepository.findAll({
where: { role: 'user' },
include: [joinUserInfo, joinStations],
paranoid: false,
order,
...paginatedQuery(query),
subQuery: false,
});
Hope it will helps someone.
