order by a custom named_scope

Reported by Falk Pauser | July 24th, 2009 @ 09:20 AM

Given the model, controller and view below (nothing special) I wonder why the given named_scopes are ignored. Is this a rails bug regarding named_scope-chaining, or could searchlogic be improved?

# EXAMPLE

>> Person.search(:suche => "bla bla", :order => "descend_by_custom").first
   # tailing the development.log shows a sql-query missing the order-statement

>> Person.descend_by_custom.search(:suche => "bla bla").first
   # works as expected

# model
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  [..]
  named_scope :ascend_by_custom, :order => "CONCAT_WS('',lastname,company,firstname) ASC"
  named_scope :descend_by_custom, :order => "CONCAT_WS('',lastname,company,firstname) DESC"
  named_scope :suche => lambda {|querystr|
    conds, vals = [], {}
    querystr.split(/\s+/).each_with_index do |q, index|
      %w(firstname lastname company).each {|attr| conds[index] << ".#{attr} like :q#{index}" }
      conds[index] = "(" + conds[index].join(" OR ") + ")"
      vals[:"q#{index}"] = "%#{q}%"
    end
    {:conditions => [conds.join(" AND "), vals]}
  }
  [..]
end

# controller
[..] @search = Person.search(params[:search]) [..]

# view
[..] <%= order(@search, :by => "custom", :as => "Person") %> [..]
