Either in your User has_many :friendships declaration or the User.find that joins :friendships in the controller you have :order => "created_at". The RDBMS can't know which table to use for created_at column, as both have one. You need to specify that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
