IMO this is the wrong order. All constraints belong to the "Default" group first and foremost. "User" is just an alias for the constraints in the "Default" group of the User class. That means, for example:
class User extends Person
{
/**
* @Assert\Valid
* @Assert\Type("Acme\Address")
*/
private $address;
}- When I validate a
Userobject in the "Default" group, all default constraints of both theUserand theAddresswill be validated. - When I validate it in the "User" group, only the default constraints of the
Userclass (and superclasses) will be executed - When I validate it in the "Address" group, only the default constraints of the
Addressclass will be executed. - When I validated it in the "Person" group, only the default constraints of the
Personclass (and superclasses) will be executed.

Btw, you should use CamelCaps notation for group names.

About your first comment: Thanks a lot for creating such a nice real world examples! :) It helps me a lot to understand the topic. I think I've covered it now in the updated list.
And your second comment: I can't see a place where I don't use CamelCaps?

Thanks for clarifying @wouterj! |

This is much better explained! Though I'll admit, the subtleties between the Default and User stuff makes my head spin a little bit still. |

Discussion ---------- Clarified Default and ClassName groups This is still the most difficult part of the validation groups and we don't put much attention on it.
