Yea, I was keeping that in the back of my mind... just forgot to mention it. This was bothering me so I had to give this a decent shot before I turned in for the evening. Here's the whole thing: So here's what we've accomplished between these two threads: 1. Start with an array of AR objects 2. Check to make sure they are all instances of the same AR class, using the first instance in the array as a model. 3. Order the attributes of each record in the array in the following manner: - Default uses @object.class.column_names as a model for the order (which is the same order as the columns appear in your db table) - if you use the :only option, we'll use that array as the model for the sort order As an added bonus, we have :except and :only options to explicitly include/exclude certain columns for your csv. Thanks for the input so far. Additional feedback welcome. On Aug 30, 2006, at 12:51 AM, Jordan A. Fowler wrote: ARGH! I just totally contradicted a previous statement (which we've both seemed to ignore). Hashes are not meant to be sorted! The order of keys or values is not guaranteed. That's what arrays are for. So, the simple solution here is to say: @users.to_csv(: ['username','password']).sort.each do |arr| key = arr[0] value = arr[1] # ... end -Jordan |
