Hello all, I''m trying to get some records in my application to sort based on a SQL calculated value and am getting no records returned. I have checked and double checked and the query that TS is indexing is working out, but the problem is with the controller. Here is what I''m indexing: ---------------------------------------------------------- indexes "((#{AppSystem::Income::BASE} - applications.monthly_income * 12)) + SUM(#{AppSystem::Income::ADDITIONAL} - (COALESCE(household_members.monthly_income, 0) * 12))", :sortable => true, :as => :applicant_need, :joins => :household_members, :type => :float ---------------------------------------------------------- It''s a pretty complex index, but again it is working. It creates an index of a float that is a Max income to qualify (MIQ) minus Total Household Income (THI) MIQ - THI and this is what is indexed. In my controller, I have a search action: ---------------------------------------------------------- def search @searched = params[:search] @sort = params[:sort_by].to_i @filter = params[:filter_by].to_i application_ids = Application.search_for_ids(@searched, :select => "id, applicant_id", :group_by => ''applicant_id'', :group_function => :attr, :with => Application.filter_for_search(@filter, @season), :sort_mode => :extended, :order => Application::Search::SortBy::SPHINX[@sort], # this gives me sql string to sort by :per_page => 1000) @applicant_ids = Applicant.search_for_ids("@application_ids ''#{application_ids * ''|''}''", :match_mode => :extended2, :page => params[:page], :per_page => 5, :sort_mode => :extended, :order => Application::Search::SortBy::SPHINX[@sort]) # this gives me sql string to sort by @applicants = @applicant_ids.empty? ? [] : Applicant.find(@applicant_ids, :select => "applicants.*, MAX(applications.created_at) AS most_recent", :joins => [:applications], :group => "applicants.id", :order => Application::Search::SortBy::VALUES[@sort]).to_a # this gives me sql string to sort by render :action => ''index'' end ---------------------------------------------------------- When user sorts by last name related to application (first_name or last_name, ASC or DESC) the sorting works fine. But sorting on applicant_need (calculated float) I get no results. Doing a "Rails.logger.info" check below each (application_ids, @applicant_ids and @applicants) I get this: ---------------------------------------------------------- ++++ application_ids ++++ [4, 2, 1] ++++ @applicant_ids ++++ [] # all other sorting would have an array of ids here ++++ @applicant ++++ [] ---------------------------------------------------------- I would appreciate any insight you might have.
