[Rails] ordering after a inject

Hi,

My results are getting out of order after I do the following command:

count = result.inject({}) { |hsh, row| hsh[row[''name'']] =
row[''count''].to_i;
hsh }

Why?

Here are more specifics:

My complete method is this (based off of acts_as_taggable code - not''
DHHs,
but the original one):

def self.sql_to_count_plays(lookback)
        sql = ["SELECT t.name as name, COUNT(*) as count
                FROM histories h, tags t
                WHERE h.tag_id = t.id
                AND created_on > ?
                GROUP BY tag_id
                ORDER BY name", lookback]
        result = find_by_sql(sql)
        count = result.inject({}) { |hsh, row|
hsh[row[''name'']] row[''count''].to_i; hsh }
        count
end

The "result" is in the proper alpha order:
=> [#<Tag:0x3606ab0
@attributes={"name"=>"baseball",
"count"=>"2"}>,
#<Tag:0x360
6a68 @attributes={"name"=>"name",
"count"=>"29"}>, #<Tag:0x3606900
@attributes={
"name"=>"new", "count"=>"3"}>,
#<Tag:0x36065b8 @attributes={"name"=>"new
test fo
r tags", "count"=>"4"}>, #<Tag:0x3606210
@attributes={"name"=>"serial",
"count">"4"}>, #<Tag:0x3605fd0
@attributes={"name"=>"test",
"count"=>"1"}>]

but once it is processed through the result.inject function it gets out of
alpha order:
=> {"new"=>3, "name"=>29, "new test for
tags"=>4, "serial"=>4, "test"=>1, "
baseball"=>2}

I can''t figure out why or how to correct it. I don''t have the
latest pickaxe
book which documents the inject function and can''t find much
documentation
on it on the web. I could turn it into an sorted array using "count
count.sort_by { |r| r.name }", but I don''t want it in an array. In
need it
in a hash.

Any ideas?

Kind regards,

Hashes are unordered containers. They do not maintain order. That is not
what they do.

Gregory has answered you but here some additional information :

1/ if you have my_hash = MyModel.sql_to_count_plays(lookback)

you can convert into a "sort of ordered hash like object", in fact an
array of nested pairs, with Hash#sort method :

irb(main):001:0> my_hash={"new"=>3, "name"=>29,
"new test for
tags"=>4, "serial"=>4, "test"=>1,
"baseball"=>2}.sort
=> [["baseball", 2], ["name", 29], ["new", 3],
["new test for tags",
4], ["serial", 4], ["test", 1]]

then you can iterate on each pair :
> my_hash.each { |p| puts "#{p.first}(#{p.last})" }baseball(2)
name(29)
new(3)
new test for tags(4)
serial(4)
test(1)

2/ There is an OrderedHash class in Rails.
In 1.0, it was class OrderedOptions, then it has been refactored a little
bit OrderedOptions < OrderedHash in 1.1.
In trunk, it''s called (very recently) ActiveSupport::OrderedHash.

If you look in : activesupport/lib/active_support/ordered_options.rb
you will see that''s basically a "nested pairs in array"
structure
encapsulated in an OrderedHash instance.

HTH,
