Rails - Jul 2005 - has_many ordering...

Hello,

    How do I order by a related table? I tried this:
             LinkHeader.find(1).links :order => ''name''
    But that doesn''t seam to be correct. What am I doing
     wrong.

the "has_many" directive supports a :order arg

Is this something that you would consider a list?

If so, look at acts_as_list

Let''s say that you have customers and they have wishlists. They might
want
to reorder their list. So, we add a ''position'' field to the
wish_lists
table and add acts_as_list into our model:

class WishList < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :customer
  acts_as_list :scope => :customer
end

Acts as List documentation:
