Bryan, Thank you. That makes sense, I was wondering why an array of models converted to another array of models wouldn't work. I did figure out that any "find" statement would work. However, what I need to do is create a subset of my model and then sort it and I can't seem to figure out how to keep that "association"
So, my solution will have to be (unless anyone has any other ideas) to use more detailed find statements. Thanks for the help.
