Kim,
I am not sure how you populate the list but if you modify your has_a
declaration to
MyApp::Orders->has_a(fruit_id => "MyApp::Fruits",{order_by=>'fruit_name'});
it should do the trick.
Regards
Ian

Hi Ian,
I added in the order sub. If I simply list my fruit table,
it is sorted alphabetically by fruit name which is good.
The problem occurs when another table just stores the fruit id,
and I join across to the fruit table to replace the id with
the full name.
For example in table orders
quantity fruit_id
10 2
5 1
4 3
MyApp::Orders->has_a(fruit_id => "MyApp::Fruits");
A select list built from fruit_id will still display
Apple
Banana
Pear
Orange
even with an order sub in place for fruits
Regards,
Kim
