Ordered Attributes
================
 
This Ruby on Rails plugin provides a way to order ActiveRecord attributes for using them for csv exports or automated table generation.
 
 
Installation
============
 
git clone git://github.com/steffen/ordered_attributes.git vendor/plugins/ordered_attributes
 
or if you are on edge rails
 
script/plugin install git://github.com/steffen/ordered_attributes.git
 
 
Example
=======
 
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  
  attr_order :name, :street, :zip, :city
  
  attr_groups :address => [:street, :zip, :city],
              :birth => [:date_of_birth, :place_of_birth], // you can use %w(date_of_birth place_of_birth) as well
              :all => [:name, :address, :birth]
  
end
 
Use the ordered_attributes method to get the ordered attributes:
 
Person.ordered_attributes
=> [:name, :street, :zip, :city]
 
Person.ordered_attributes(:all)
=> [:name, :street, :zip, :city, :date_of_birth, :place_of_birth]
 
 
See spec/ordered_attributes_spec.rb for more Examples!
