SELECT individuals.* FROM ( SELECT children.*  
FROM checkins INNER JOIN children 
ON checkins.child_id = children.id WHERE checkins.event_id = 1234 ) temp 
INNER JOIN individuals ON temp.individual_id = individuals.id ORDER BY
individuals.firstname;

Answer 1

Individual.find(:all, :joins => {:children => :checkins}, :conditions => 'checkins.event_id = 1234', :order => 'individuals.firstname')
