Hi Kevin, Do you mean something like:
class Activity < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :unit_activities, :order => :position has_many :units, :through => :unit_activities .... class UnitActivity < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :activity belongs_to :unit acts_as_list :scope => :activity ... class Unit < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :unit_activities has_many :activities, :through => :unit_activities class ActivityHints < Hobo::ViewHints children :units This generates a <collection:units param/> tag for the Activities show page. If I manually change it to <sortable-collection:units param/>, I get the following error: undefined method `reorder_units_url' Am I missing the gist of what you mean, or am I missing a step? Do I need to pass something to sortable-collection?
