I have the following tables
create table files(id int ai pk, name varchar(255)
create table admins (file_id int, user_id int)
create table users (id int ai pk, name varchar(16),email varchar(255))
And presumably classes like:
class File
has_many :admins
has_many :users, :through => :admins
end
class Admin
belongs_to :file
belongs_to :user
end
class User
end
I want to get all the admin user names and emails of a given file. Say
for file 1
File.find(1).users
or
File.where(:id => 1).users
Admin.where(:file_id=>1).includes(:user). it works very good. Now I
want to sort the admins on the usernames
Then add and .order('users.name') to the query.
Alternatively, you could always get the users in that order:
class File
has_many :admins
has_many :users, :through => :admins, :order => 'users.name'
end
Admin.where(:file_id=>1).include(:user).order('users.name'). this
shows an sql query with an empty column and so bails out. here's the
query I got on the console
SELECT `admins`.`` AS t0_r0, `admins`.`file_id` AS t0_r1,
`admins`.`user_id` AS t0_r2, `users`.`id` AS t1_r0, `users`.`name` AS
t1_r1 FROM `admins` LEFT OUTER JOIN `users` ON `users`.`id` =
`admins`.`user_id` WHERE `admins`.`file_id` = 1 ORDER BY users.name
The first column name is being taken as empty (immediately after the
select).
Is this a bug? I don't want to have id field in the admins table as
that's not useful. How do I write a AR query to sort out this issue
thanks

You should not need an `id` on the admins table, but you almost
certainly want to have an index on each of the `file_id` and `user_id`
columns.
