I don’t think this needs much explanation. Is what I’m trying to do  
even possible?

class CreateLanguagesProducts \< ActiveRecord::Migration  
create\_table languages\_products do |t|  
t.column :language\_id, :integer  
t.column :product\_id, :integer  
t.column :language\_position, :integer  
end  
end

class Language \< ActiveRecord::Base  
acts\_as\_list :scope =\> :product  
has\_and\_belongs\_to\_many :products  
end

class Product \< ActiveRecord::Base  
has\_and\_belongs\_to\_many :languages, :order =\> WHAT GOES HERE?  
end
