Imagine Parent and Child classes as you might expect: class Parent include DataMapper::Resource
property :id, Serial property :name, String, :required => true has n, :children, :order => :age.desc #Note default order by age descending (i.e. oldest to youngest) end class Child include DataMapper::Resource property :id, Serial property :name, String, :required => true property :age, String, :required => true belongs_to :parent end I now want the names of the kids from oldest to youngest so I do this parent.children.name The problem is that the order by age descending isn't being applied; in fact, it is ignored. I am getting the names sorted by id. Is it even possible to maintain order across associations? If so, how?
