I have this code:

\<% form\_for(@repair\_ticket) do |f| %\>

\<%= text\_field\_with\_auto\_complete :rp\_part, :name %\>

**Client**  
 \<% @clients.each do |client| %\> \> \<%= client.name %\> \<% end %\>

How can I ;order =\> client.name all the results in the list ?

in the controller:

@clients = Client.find(:all, :order =\> ‘name’)

in the view:

f.select :client\_id, @clients.map{|c| [c.name, c.id]}
