insert_at doesn't seem to be working in ActiveRecord callback (Rails 4.2)

[jasonsof]

Trying to reorder a list inside of an after_create callback doesn't seem to do any reordering. I created a little example with an rspec test in it.

Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong here?

Hi Jason, There's an option you can pass to your acts_as_list call :add_new_at => :top which should do what you're trying to do. It's not documented I don't think, but the code is here:

Thanks Brendon, that option was exactly what I needed!

You're welcome :) I've found altering the current record in after_creates
is always a hassle. There always seems to be some unforeseen consequence.
Better to override the attribute setter or something like that instead (not
in this case though!).
