Question

How do you order by decimal or date fields?

class CreateUserPrices < ActiveRecord::Migration

  def self.up
    create_table :user_prices do |t|
      t.decimal :price, :precision => 8, :scale => 2
      t.date :purchase_date
      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end

I’m trying to sort my user prices to be ordered by price and purchase date.

searchable do
  text :product_name do
    product.name
  end
  # field for :price?
  # field for :purchase_date?
end

What goes in the model?

Answer 1

Make sure when you add any new code to the searchable do block you rake sunspot:reindex.

decimal fields use float and date fields use time

searchable do
  text :product_name do
    product.name
  end
  time :purchase_date
  float :price
end
