I''m using collection.select lists and I would love to sort them by one
or two of the columns as the lists are getting long enough to make a
difference.
<%= options = [[''Select a Facility'', '''']]
+ @facility.collect {
|fac| [fac.name, fac.id] }
select ''placement'',
''facility_id'', options %>
how do I get this to order by facility.name ?
