Assuming a User model with a comparable rank attribute,

@users = User.find(:all :order => “rank” )

error, unexpected ‘:’, expecting ‘)’
@users = Users.find(:all :order => “points” )
^
./script/…/config/…/app/controllers/users_controller.rb:12: parse
error, unexpected ‘)’, expecting kEND
./script/…/config/…/app/controllers/users_controller.rb:51: parse
error, unexpected $, expecting kEND

I would think that you would need a comma between :all and :order…

@users = Users.find(:all, :order => “points” )

@users = Users.find(:all, :order => “points DESC” )

It has to have DESC at the end

Also true, but only if the largest values are the highest rank.

That part of your question was unspecified.
