Assuming a User model with a comparable rank attribute,

@users = User.find(:all :order => "rank" )

./script/../config/../app/controllers/users_controller.rb:12: parse 
error, unexpected '':'', expecting '')''
    @users = Users.find(:all :order => "points" )
                              ^
./script/../config/../app/controllers/users_controller.rb:12: parse 
error, unexpected '')'', expecting kEND
./script/../config/../app/controllers/users_controller.rb:51: parse 
error, unexpected $, expecting kEND

this is the error I got when I ran it

I would think that you would need a comma between :all and :order...

@users = Users.find(:all, :order => "points" )

@users = Users.find(:all, :order => "points DESC" )

It has to have DESC at the end

Also true, but only if the largest values are the highest rank.

That part of your question was unspecified.
