How to sort Rails Active Model serializers' response


Weirdly, I haven't find anything on the subject...

How can I sort the JSON my Rails server delivers? I am currently using ActiveModel Serializer :

 embed :ids, include: true
 attributes :id, :name

 has_many :places

I would like to sort the embedded places.

The only answer I found is this SO question, but it explains how the serializer sort by default, instead of how I can sort.


Solution

  • You can define it as property and handle sorting. E.g:

    def places
        object.places.order("title")
    end
