please help solve the problem.
tables:
users:
id: integer
name: varchar
posts:
id: integer
title: varchar
user_id: integer
views: integer
models:
User:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :posts, dependent: :destroy
end
Posts:
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
end
controller:
def popular_diary
@diaries =
User.joins(:posts).group(:user_id).order(‘SUM(posts.views)’)
end
the result @diaries contains a collection users, sorted by the number of
views. in ascending order (ASC). but I need to get a collection of
users, sorted in descending order (DESC).
I have tried to do so:
@diaries = User.joins(:posts).group(:user_id).order(‘SUM(posts.views)
:DESC’)
but I got an error message:
SQLite3::SQLException: near “:DESC”: syntax error: SELECT “users”.* FROM
“users” INNER JOIN “posts” ON “posts”.“user_id” = “users”.“id” GROUP BY
user_id ORDER BY SUM(posts.views) :DESC
