Question

I have an object with attribute impressionist_count. impressionist_count is a Fixnum.

object.impressionist_count
# => `20`, `1000`, `26`, etc.

I want to sort all my objects in descending order, but it does not work, something like:

Objects.order_by(:impressionist_count, :desc)

I don’t know what I am doing wrong. How can I fix this code?

Answer 1

Use .desc():

Objects.desc(:impressionist_count)

Or you can use .order_by() if you wrap using arrays like this:

Objects.order_by([[:impressionist_count, :desc]])
