I have two ActiveRecord Models where I want to use the find (:all, :order=>‘created_at DESC’) method (or sql) so it output a collection of both objects together listed in descending order by date. Does anyone have any ideas how to do this? |

You could try something like this, wrapped into a method called first_and_next_collection defined on both of your models: FirstModel.find(:all).concat(NextModel.find(:all)).sort{|a,b| a.created_at <=> b.created_at} |

Try using :include like FirstModel.find(:all, :include => :next_model, :order=>‘created_at DESC’) |
