How to Order Nested Attribute according to its Date?

Question

How can we DESC order results according to its :date_value in the quantifieds index ?

Results being the nested attribute to quantifieds.

Right now the order is according to where the User added the result in the form , regardless of :date_value .

This has proven more difficult than I would have guessed.

 class QuantifiedsController < ApplicationController before_action :set_quantified, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy] before_action :logged_in_user, only: [:create, :destroy] def index if params[:tag] @quantifieds = Quantified.tagged_with(params[:tag]) else @quantifieds = Quantified.joins(:results).all @averaged_quantifieds = current_user.quantifieds.averaged @instance_quantifieds = current_user.quantifieds.instance end end def show end def new @quantified = current_user.quantifieds.build end def edit end def create @quantified = current_user.quantifieds.build(quantified_params) if @quantified.save redirect_to quantifieds_url, notice: 'Quantified was successfully created' else @feed_items = [] render 'pages/home' end end def update if @quantified.update(quantified_params) redirect_to quantifieds_url, notice: 'Goal was successfully updated' else render action: 'edit' end end def destroy @quantified.destroy redirect_to quantifieds_url end private def set_quantified @quantified = Quantified.find(params[:id]) end def correct_user @quantified = current_user.quantifieds.find_by(id: params[:id]) redirect_to quantifieds_path, notice: "Not authorized to edit this goal" if @quantified.nil? end def quantified_params params.require(:quantified).permit(:categories, :metric, :result, :date, :tag_list, results_attributes: [:id, :result_value, :date_value, :_destroy]) end end 

 class Quantified < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user has_many :results #correct accepts_nested_attributes_for :results, :reject_if => :all_blank, :allow_destroy => true #correct scope :averaged, -> { where(categories: 'Averaged') } scope :instance, -> { where(categories: 'Instance') } validates :categories, :metric, presence: true acts_as_taggable CATEGORIES = ['Averaged', 'Instance'] end 

 class Result < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user belongs_to :quantified end 

 class CreateQuantifieds < ActiveRecord::Migration def change create_table :quantifieds do |t| t.string :categories t.string :metric t.references :user, index: true t.timestamps null: false end add_foreign_key :quantifieds, :users add_index :quantifieds, [:user_id, :created_at] end end 

 class CreateResults < ActiveRecord::Migration def change create_table :results do |t| t.string :result_value t.date :date_value t.integer :quantified_id t.timestamps null: false end end end

Thanks so much for your time!

Got it! Add default_scope { order('date_value DESC') } in result.rb
