Is it possible to create a Pageable to sort by nested property?

Question

Spring

I have a Cat entity that contains a Kitty entity . Kitty in turn contains a name field .

Now I want to create a Pageable to sort the cats. And I want to sort them by the name of their kittens.

Would a Pageable like this work:

PageRequest.of(pageNum, pageSize, direction, "kitty.name");

?
