It means that they always come out in the same order (which, accidentally, is *ascending* according to the kind values, which is likely a consequence, that I create the Idiom objects with ascending kind values, and so the probability is high that - with my small development database - I just get them back in the order they were created. BTW, I looked at the result by running .inspect on the returned data, and from this I found that it's not sorted descendingly. > If you have a look in log/development.log you will see the query being > run and check that it looks ok. Oh, of course, I should have thought of this myself! I'll do that next time I'm on the development host!
