let''s say i have a Category model. every time i pull the categories, i am writing something along the lines of @categories Category.find(:all, :order => :position) is there a way to put something in the model so that any time i find categories with Category.find(:all), it will automatically sort by the position column unless i specify otherwise? i would like to be able to change something like that in one place instead of passing the same parameters to it every time. i did add something like this to the model which also works: def self.order_by_position find(:all, :order => :position) end so that i can just do Category.order_by_position but was just wondering if there''s a better way. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
