How can I sort a collection mapped as a set at runtime?

I've tried session.filter(node.getNodes(), "ORDER BY name ASC"); but it seems like it returns a new collection instead of sorting the collection itself.

When Hibernate lazy loads the node.getNodes() in the view it is still unordered.

I can implement a Comparator but would like to sort the collection in SQL.

<set order-by="...">

Thanks for the quick answer but I want to sort the collection at runtime.

session.filter seems to sort a copy of the collection so I cannot use that.
