Hi,

Not sure if I am doing this correctly.  I am trying to
order a result by the count of something but the 'as'
parameter doesn't seem to do what I think it should
do:

Can anyone spot what I am doing wrong here?

From: http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBIx-Class/lib/DBIx/Class/ResultSet.pm#as :

Please note: This will NOT insert an AS employee_count into the SQL
statement produced, it is used for internal access only. Thus
attempting to use the accessor in an order_by clause or similar will
fail miserably.

To get around this limitation, you can supply literal SQL to your
select attibute that contains the AS alias text, eg:

 select => [\'myfield AS alias']
