Update entities changed with DoctrineExtensions Sortable

Question

I have a PreUpdate listener where I change entry version. I have my own Versioning system (just an integer field with a version number which is increased to the highest+1 when entity is changed).

So if I change sth, version is increased. I also use DoctrineExtensions Sortable. The problem is that I should change version to all of entities where the position is changed.

For instance if I change entity position to 4 I give this entity a new version (let's say 22). And with that five other entities have position being changed (for instance). So also for those five entities I should change the version to 22. Any idea how to achieve this without infinite loop made by PreUpdate event?

If you are using \Knp\DoctrineBehaviors you probably should make use of the repository traits of Knp inside your repo class:

use \Knp\DoctrineBehaviors\ORM\Sortable\SortableRepository; 

Then you can make use of reorderEntity/() in your updateAction(), createAaction()

 //reorder..
 $em->getRepository('Bundle:Class')->reorderEntity($entity);
