It is impossible to sort by association's fields

[kirushik]

Let's say we have User class, which belongs to an Organization class.

In the sorted 1.0 it was possible to pass 'organizations.name' to sorted method on User.references(:organization).includes(:organization), and have our users list sorted by an association name (quite handy in admin views, for example).

With sorted 2.0 that seems no longer the case — it tries to sort by "users"."organizations.name", and that of course fails.

I think this is either an unintended regression in sorted 2.0, or plainly a missing feature.

Thanks @kirushik, I will have a look at this tomorrow, thanks for the detail.

@kirushik are you using sorted-activerecord or sorted? Could you please close this ticket and open it on https://github.com/mynameisrufus/sorted-activerecord with the code you trying to run, even better if you could provide me with a failing test, that would be very helpful 😃

[kirushik]

@mynameisrufus OK, will do that today.
