I wrote this for now, a terrible hack
def get_order
str = self.inspect
ar = str.split(',')
ar[0] = ar[0].gsub(/^\S*/,'')
ar[ar.length - 1] = ar.last.chop
puts 'ar'
p ar
ar2 = ar.map{|el| el.split(":")[0].strip}
puts 'ar2'
p ar2
del_idxs = []
ar2.each_with_index do |el,idx|
if !self.attribute_names.include?(el)
del_idxs << idx
end
end
puts 'del idx'
puts "\n\n\n"
del_idxs.each{|i| ar2.delete_at(i)}
ar2
end
