Very strange - can you post the DRYML for the table-plus? The automatic
order_by scope is supposed to handle sorting by 'some_belongs_to_association'
as long as the model involved has a field declared with :name => true.

If you've got a bunch of these, you'll probably want to declare a <view> tag
for the appropriate class; in a singular instance, you can swap out what
table-plus shows for a cell with:
<table-plus ...>
<agent-view:>
...do something useful here - 'this' is the Agent object here
</agent-view:>
</table-plus>
