Hi Frankenstein (;-)), In your controller, you'll need to do something like this: @page = params[:page] @category_id = params[:category] @orderby = params[:orderby] @ocation_id = params[:ocation] and so on. As you (may or may not) know, these instance variables (the ones with @ signs) get auto-transferred to view for you... Now in the view, your links will have to include all of these... (omitting them obviously where you're overriding them or setting them specifically - for example where you're setting the sort order link, you wouldn't want to include the sort order instance varaible there...) eg: link_to "Name", :action => :index, :orderby => "name", :category => @category_id, :page => @page, :ocation => @ocation_id for category in @categories link_to category.name, :action => :index, :category => category.id, :page => @page, :orderby => @orderby, :ocation => @ocation_id end for ocation in @ocations link_to ocation.name, :action => :index, :ocation => ocation.id, :category => @category_id, :page => @page, :orderby => @orderb end And back in the controller, your find command will need a condition clause that only uses the params that have been set, and order clause that only uses the orderby params if it's been set.
