That is what I wanted, I had missed it previously. So, to clarify for anyone picking this up in the future, if we have Items = Item.order( :id ) then we can say items.except(:order).order( 'id DESC' ) to override the previous sort. I have tried it in the console and it works as expected. Many thanks Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
