Question

My controller action is calling all images belonging to a specific user and Im trying to order by its position (Im using the acts_as_list gem) but when I go to the page, the images are FIRST sorted by the created date, and then position (according to rails console). But because it orders by the creation date first my controller order is being ignored which is no good.

here is my action

  def manage_tattoos
    @tattoos = current_member.tattoos.order("position DESC")
  end

and my server console shows:

  Tattoo Load (0.6ms)  SELECT `tattoos`.* FROM `tattoos` WHERE
 (`tattoos`.member_id = 1) ORDER BY tattoos.created_at DESC, position DESC

Answer 1

Well it seems Im just very absent minded and had completely forgotten that I set a default scope on the model. Took that out and everything is fine
