I want to add another field, which needs to be accessible by views (for display and ordering), to the entityreference table field_data_field_FIELDNAME. Structure of that table is:

  • entity_type VARCHAR(128)
  • bundle VARCHAR(128)
  • deleted TINYINT(4)
  • entity_id INT(10)
  • revision_id INT(10)
  • language VARCHAR(32)
  • delta INT(10)
  • field_FIELDNAME_target_id INT(10)

I want to have a column storing DateTime information here, so I can attach information about when this reference was added/ updated for that referenced entity. There also needs to be a way to save the newly added field directly in the array structure for that reference such as:

$node->field_reference['und'][] = array(
  'target_id' => 123,
  'my_new_column' => '2014-03-13 15:29:29'
);

I know I could solve this by using field_collections or relation module, but both would cause significant performance issues.
