Question

I have a table in my app that currently displays items in the order in which they are created. I would like them to sort by my date attribute (<%= o.dateg %>) in chronological order. Whats the proper rails way to do this?

Controller:

def show
 @occasion = Occasion.find(params[:id])
end

View:

   <% @user.occasions.each do |o| %>
          <td><%= o.name %></td>
          <td><%= o.pname %></td>
          <td><%= o.dateg %></td>

Thanks!

Answer 1

You must have that, right?

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :occassions
end

You can change the has_many to:

has_many :occasions, order: 'dateg desc'
