Assuming I have two models: Order "belongs_to :payee" Payee "has_many :orders"
In the orders table, I store the payee_id. If I want to pull all orders and display the list alphabetically by the payees last name, what would be the best way to do it? Would I need to setup a true "join" table and then run my find on it? I can't do this through the view using a sort plugin since that simply changes the finders SQL and doesn't include the association logic needed here. Since I'm accessing the payee's name through the association "order.payee.last_name" what is the best way to accomplish what I need or do I need to write some convoluted method that breaks down the recordset and orders it manually? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
