Don't have a suggestion for a clean way to do the sorting/pagination from sql, but if you're going to do full search anywhere in your app you might consider using an index to build your collection. With solr, for instance, you index against strings which can include any number of fields/methods from associated models. acts_as_solr or sunspot are some plugins I've used recently.
