Spring Data Rest– 按嵌套属性排序

我有一个使用Spring Boot 1.5.1和Spring Data Rest的数据库服务.我将我的实体存储在MySQL数据库中,并使用Spring的PagingAndSortingRepository通过REST访问它们.我发现this声明支持按嵌套参数排序,但我找不到按嵌套字段排序的方法.

我有这些课程：

@Entity(name = "Person")@table(name = "PERSON")public class Person {    @ManyToOne    protected Address address;    @ManyToOne(targetEntity = name.class,cascade = {        CascadeType.ALL    })    @JoinColumn(name = "name_PERSON_ID")    protected name name;    @ID    protected Long ID;    // Setter,getters,etc.}@Entity(name = "name")@table(name = "name")public class name{    protected String firstname;    protected String lastname;    @ID    protected Long ID;    // Setter,etc.}

例如,使用该方法时：

Page

调用URI http://localhost:8080/people/search/findByAddress_Id?id=1&sort=name_lastName,desc时,Spring完全忽略sort参数.

参数sort = name.lastname和sort = nameLastname也不起作用.

我是否构成了Rest请求错误,或者缺少某些配置？

谢谢！
