Hi there, i wrote an intelligent searchform, which is divided into categories. Just a short overview of the workflow. For every keyword, which is entered in the searchform the matches are checked. So we''ve got a rank in a hash. [key of entry, relevance match] For example: @hash = [123 => 5, 124 =>2, 125 => 5, 126 => 1, etc...] I ordered the Hash "by relevance" simply by ordering by the hash values: @hash.sort_by {|a,b| b}) @hash = [123 => 5, 125 => 5, 124 =>2, 126 => 1, etc...] No I want to find my entries by the key values of the hash. Thats not the problem: @entries = Entry.find(@hash) or @entries = Entry.find(@hash.keys) The problem is, that the entries are (by standard) ordered by ID and not in order by the Hash-Keys I passed. Is there a possibility to order by my "relevance system" (even if there isn''t a coloumn in the Entries-Table.
