#ordered_by(clause) ⇒ Object

Decorate this class with the ability to order itself in queries either from a given parameter or from its default ordering:

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
  ordered_by "published_at DESC"
end

Article.ordered #=> all items ordered by "published_at DESC"
Article.ordered('popularity ASC') #=> all items ordered by "popularity ASC"
Article.default_ordering #=> "published_at DESC"
