Hi there, I know this is be a very minor issue, but considering @users = User.find :all, :order => ''name'' _AND_ @user_pages, @users = paginate :user, :order_by => ''name'' by simplicity, shouldn''t the symbols :order and :order_by be the same or both to both cases ?

Ahoy, I checked the API and did some forum searches but didn''t find anything good on table sorting. Is there a "railish" way to do this? My current method really is lacking (i''m on like rails day 2) <th><%= link_to ''Name'', :action => ''list'', :order => ''name'' %></th>
