As the comments have suggested, Parallels does not support Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 directly.

Parallels Knowledge-base article

However, the VMware knowledge-base does list a pair of patches from Microsoft (x86 patch and x64 patch) that remove the requirement for the hardware virtualisation on XP mode which should allow Parallels to also run the XP mode.

Does Parallels Desktop support hardware virtualization for the client VM?
I am trying to get Doctrine2 Entities, ordered by their ID which apparently is a String even though it contains only Numbers.
So what I would like to do is something like this:

SELECT entity1, cast (entity1.id AS integer) AS orderId
FROM Namespace\Bla\MyEntity 
ORDER BY orderId


Is there a way to do something like this in Doctrine2?
Or, what would be the best practise to get my Result if i can't change the type of the id (due to customer requirements of course)?



Attention: I am not asking SQL Code, i am asking for a Doctrine2 Solution, preferably in DQL
