Simple gem for sorting data in HTML tables

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sortable-for-rails'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sortable-for-rails

class User < ApplicationRecord
  include Sortable::Model

  sortable :id, :updated_at, :email
  sortable :profile_name, -> { joins(:profile) }, column: "profiles.name"
  sortable :status, method: :sortable_status

  # we can sort in memory also if needed (for data not stored directly in DB)
  # just remember on performance impact
  def self.sortable_status(direction)
    results = all.sort_by { |user| user.status }
    results.reverse! if direction == :desc
    results
  end

end

In Views

<th><%= sortable :email, default: true %></th>
<th><%= sortable :updated_at, direction: :desc %></th>
<th>
  <%= sortable :profile_name do %>
    Custom label
  <% end %>
</th>

If you want customize how arrows are generated copy views/sortable/_label.html.erb and change how you want.
