Instance Method Details

#priority_order_scopes(col, dir = :asc) ⇒ Object

Include PriorityOrderScopes and call 'priority_order_scopes' with a column name (and optional direction) to create priority_order, next and previous scopes.

next and previous` require a record to start from. They will use the current scope if passed as part of a chain (or if a default scope with an order clause is defined), or default to the priority order.

You can also call instance.next or instance.previous directly. This will always use the default scope or the priority order.
