ActiveRecord find in order for an array parameter

Rails

How can i make ActiveRecord find in order for an array parameter?

Ex. for Test.find([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
it should return test.id=1 as the first entry.

Right, it just returns in a random order.

thanks

You’ll need to use the :order option.
Test.find([1,2,3,4,5], :order => “id”)

Assuming that you’re trying to order them by the id, you can sort the
array when you pass it into .find.

Test.find( array_name.sort )

Good luck!

Cheers,
