Excellent!

That works! well at least partly, I'm wondering if my relationships are 
set up correctly...

here's some code that I am using

(top two work, bottom one not).

<th><%= sort_link('Date (just the date)', 'news_items.date') %></th>
<th><%= sort_link('Stock Name (stock.name)', 'stocks.name') %></th>
<th><%= sort_link('Sector Name', 'stocks.sector.name') %></th>

this is the error... "SQLite3::SQLException: no such column: 
stocks.sector.name: SELECT "news_items"."id" AS t0_r0, 
"news_items"."news_type_id" AS t0_r1, "news_items"."stock_id" AS t0_r2, 
"news_items"."description" AS t0_r3, "news_items"."date" AS t0_r4, 
"news_items"."created_at" AS t0_r5, "news_items"."updated_at" AS t0_r6, 
"stocks"."id" AS t1_r0, "stocks"."name" AS t1_r1, "stocks"."ticker" AS 
t1_r2, "stocks"."active" AS t1_r3, "stocks"."sector_id" AS t1_r4, 
"stocks"."created_at" AS t1_r5, "stocks"."updated_at" AS t1_r6 FROM 
"news_items"  LEFT OUTER JOIN "stocks" ON "stocks".id = 
"news_items".stock_id      ORDER BY stocks.sector.name"  <- clearly 
doesn't like stocks.sector.name

here's teh cont code

    order_by = params[:order_by] || 'news_items.date'
    @news_items = NewsItem.find(:all, :order => order_by, :include => 
'stock')

---

I also tried

    @news_items = NewsItem.find(:all, :order => order_by, :include => 
'stock', 'sector')

and

    @news_items = NewsItem.find(:all, :order => order_by, :include => 
'stock', 'sectors')

I feel it's close...


As i say, these work perfectly..

<th><%= sort_link('Date (just the date)', 'news_items.date') %></th>
<th><%= sort_link('Stock Name (stock.name)', 'stocks.name') %></th>

models are a bit like this...

class Stock < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :sector
  has_many :news_items
end

class Sector < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :stocks
end

class NewsType < ActiveRecord::Base
end

class NewsItem < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :stock
  belongs_to :news_type
  belongs_to :sector
end


I'd like to sort by all of those....

phew. not easy this relational db stuff !
