@post\_pages, @posts = paginate :posts, :per\_page =\> 5, :order =\> ‘id’

The results are not ordered and I am not getting error and the results  
not ordered in any order…is there any error in the syntax

??

maybe:

@post\_pages, @posts = paginate :posts, :per\_page =\> 5, :order =\> ‘id

or

@post\_pages, @posts = paginate :posts, :per\_page =\> 5, :order =\> ‘id  
asc’
