In datetime_select, :order does not work, but it works for d

Rails

Hi All

In my project I am to take date of birth from user so I used
datetime_select. It renders three selection boxes, year, month and day.
But
I want order as day, month and year. I added :order option for
datetime_select, it renders normal selection boxes with order year,
month
and day. Why :order does not work with datetime_select? see my following
code

<%= datetime_select(:user2, :date_of_birth,
:discard_hour => true,
:start_year => 2000,
:end_year => 1910,
:order => [:day, :month, :year])
%>

here :order is ineffective.

Also I want to add id for every select box generated, Please tell em if
there is any way to do that.

Anil W.

If you just need day, month, year for the birthday (imagine so)
try date_select instead:
<%= date_select :user2, :date_of_birth, :order => [:day, :month, :year]
%>
This works for me.
