In my view I've got:
<tr>
<th><%= sort_link('Name', 'name') %></th>
<th><%= sort_link('Grant number', 'grant_number') %></th>
<th><%= sort_link('Status', 'status_id') %></th>
</tr>
The controller starts out with:
def index
order_by = params[:order_by] || 'name'
@projects = Project.find(:all, :order => order_by)
HTH,
-Roy
