I''ve got a constant of difficulty levels in my ''Tutorial'' model which is a hash of DIFFICULTIES = {"Beginner" => 1, "Intermediate" => 2, "Advanced" => 3} However when I pass it to my options_for_select helper they appear in a completely different order. Is there any way to keep them in the correct order? Also is this the best way to keep a small list like this that isn''t related to a database table? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

As far as options_for_select is concerned you can use something like [[''Beginner'', 1], ...]> Also is this the best way to keep a small list like this that isn''t > related to a database table?constant in the tutorial model sounds fine to me.

Can''t you use .sort Method or switch to Ruby 1.9?
