Overview

A sortable columns feature for your controller and views.

Activate the feature in your controller class:

In a view, mark up sortable columns by using the sortable_column helper:

<%= sortable_column "Product" %>
<%= sortable_column "Price" % >

In controller action, fetch and use the order clause according to current state of sortable columns:

def index
  order = sortable_column_order
  @records = Article.order(order)           # Rails 3.
  @records = Article.all(:order => order)   # Rails 2.
end

That’s it for basic usage. Production usage may require passing additional parameters to listed methods.
