Rails - Jul 2006 - Nested Data

I currently have a database with a table called bookstores. Within that 
table are columns such as bookstore name, city, state, and zip code.

What I''d like to do is display the City and then every store name for 
that city underneath it.

i.e.

City
 - Store 1
 - Store 15


Another City
 - Store 2
 - Store 5


etc. I''ve seen act_as_tree but I don''t know if it''ll
help me as I''m just
using one table here. Is there a rails way to do what I want?

Thanks!

I think this is probably what you''re looking for..

@bookstores_by_city = Bookstore.find_all.group_by { |store| store.city }

See http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9/classes/Enumerable.html
