Sorting collection lists

Rails
1

I’m using collection.select lists and I would love to sort them by one
or two of the columns as the lists are getting long enough to make a
difference.

<%= options = [[‘Select a Facility’, ‘’]] + @facility.collect {
|fac| [fac.name, fac.id] }
select ‘placement’, ‘facility_id’, options %>

how do I get this to order by facility.name ?

thanks - at least I now recognize why I couldn’t intuitively figure this
out.

<%= options = [[‘Select a Facility’, ‘’]] +
@facility.sort{|a,b|
a.name <=> b.name }.collect{|fac|
[fac.name, fac.id] }
select ‘placement’, ‘facility_id’, options %>
