Hi

I am using classic pagination plugin and in my view i am using link  
to list items by updated at

\<%= link\_to "list by id", {:action =\> "list\_by\_update"}%\>

controll goes

def list\_by\_update  
@item\_pages, @items = paginate :item, :per\_page =\> 10, :order\_by =\>  
‘updated\_at’  
render\_action ‘index’  
end

So if i use this kind of system it gives a error:

Couldn’t find Item with ID=list\_by\_update

so i changed action to method call but it won’t paginate the list.
