Nulls Last about periscope

[laserlemon]

Hi @krazyjakee! That's a question for your specific database rather than for Periscope. For instance, here's the documentation for PostgreSQL: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/queries-order.html

SELECT select_list FROM table_expression ORDER BY sort_expression1 ASC NULLS LAST

Googling around should give you what you want! In a Rails context, you may want to use Arel to build and add the NULLS FIRST/LAST clause to your query ordering. Good luck!

I am throwing the query parameters into periscopes black box which also handles sorting.

.periscope(request.query_parameters)

Are there no extra options I can pass to ask periscope to tweak the ordering?

EDIT: Update the model. Of course, got it. Thank you for taking the time.

Periscope is only an interface to whatever scopes your model already defines. How your models' scopes handle ordering is a question I can't answer. Periscope will happily use whatever scope you define. If you want to give an example of parameters you're passing in, maybe I can help point you in the right direction.

You're super kind, thank you. It suddenly hit me as it should have hours ago 👯

Still getting used to rails, thank you again.
