Rails - Mar 2006 - SortHelper Question

I''m trying to install the SortHelper module, and for some reason
I''m getting a NoMethodError when I try to view the list. I''m a
relative newbie to rails, but the controller and the helper seem to be pointing
to the right places. I named the controller sort_controller.rb and the helper is
sort_helper.rb, and list is list.rhtml

Thanks for any help!

Typically, helpers are referenced in controllers where you want to invoke them, 
rather than in their own controller.  You utilize the helper, in this case the 
sort helper, by sticking a "helper :sort" at the top of the
controller.

For example, if you have a controller that generates a collection of
"Widget"
models that you want to sort in the list view, you would put this at the top of 
widget_controller.rb...

  helper :sort
  include SortHelper

...and then you would get all the methods provided by the sort_helper.rb 
module.  I got bit by this  myself, hopefully this will solve your issue too.
