Display sequence number of a categoryId

[s***@perficient.com]

How can we determine the display sequence numbers of the sub categories of a given parent category in a JSP page? Using CategoryDataBean's getSubCategory, we can get a reference to the description object and then retreive other details like short description etc. Is there a similar way to get the display sequence number ie basically get a refrence object to CatalogEntryRelationAccessBean from the CategoryDataBean? (So that we can do categoryDataBean.someMethod().getSequence() -- the getSequence() method from the CatalogEntryRelationAccessBean)

Also, attempting to get to it, what is deep fetch(in CategoryDataBean)? Will that take us somewhere?

just did a quick search in the info center. Not sure if this is what you are looking for or not:

I got the links above from doing a search in the info center on " sequence number"

You can get access to the sequence number using CategoryDataBean.getCategoryAttributes().getSequence().

Are the categories and catalog entries always fetched in the order of the display sequence number?

and FYI.. the method you suggested seems to be the display sequence number of the attributes. Looking for the display sequence of the catalog entry itself, CatalogGroupRelationDataBean seems to have it just that it seems to require initialization using the <wcbase:useBean> tag to retreive the sequence number and we dont have a method which can return it.
