I didn't read your question fully, but yes you can sort on a calculated column. Either you set the sort SQL which is most efficient, or you can use sorting where the whole recordset is read into memory and sorted locally (more expensive usually) If in doubt have a peek at the code - I had to have a look recently to debug what was happening sorting multiple columns - it's fairly obvious Ed W --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ActiveScaffold : Ruby on Rails plugin" group.
