使用will_paginate进行分页排序的结果集

Question

I'm using will_paginate for pagination in a Rails 3 site. I'd like to be able to click on the table headers (eg "name", "created at") for each of the output fields and have the results ordered on that field. It would also be nice to be able to click again for reverse ordering. Is there something that works well with will_paginate for ordering? Can I do this just using will_paginate?

The table format I'm using is pretty generic:

<%= will_paginate %>
<table>
    <tr>
        <th>ID</th>
        <th>Name</th>
        <th>Updated</th>
    </tr>   
    <% @shops.each do |shop| %>
    <tr>
        <td><%= shop.id %></td>
        <td><%= shop.name %></td>
        <td><%= shop.updated_at.strftime("%a %b %d %H:%M ") %></td>
    </tr>
    <% end %>
</table>
<%= will_paginate %>

@customer = @search.paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => 50)

<th><%= sort_link @search, :address %></th>

Alternatives:

1) Using powerful jquery plugin:

Sorting and pagination became simple with jquery plugin.

There is a powerful jquery plugin here .

More for jQuery Tablesorter: Pagination and Sorting made simple .

2) Sortable Table Columns:

If you want sorting without jquery plugin then you will get everything you want here . The above method adds the ability to sort table columns in ascending or descending order by clicking the header.
