Rails - Nov 2005 - DisplayTag for Rails ?

Hi,
 
    I had read somewhere that there would be an effort to port the awesome
DisplayTag to Ruby. I haven''t seen anything else after this news flash
??
    Does anyone know what''s the status on that effort ?

    Is there anything else helperwise that fully understand sort and filter on a
table ?

    I am trying to create some tables views that support for sort and filter. I 
did see the sort filter but it seems pretty flat and does not seems to handle
relationship all that great. For example how would on go about sorting on a 1-1
relationship ?

Say I have Table A and Table B where A defines b_id as a foreign key. I would
want my sort column to be defined as b_id.name for instance.

Did I miss something ?

Thanks
