:has_many best practice search order

I have a model_one that :has_many model_two-s, I would like to find the ten model_one's that have the most model_two's. What is the best way to do this?

Something like this?

Model_One.find(:all, :limit => 10, :joins => :model_two,      :order => "count(model_twos.model_one_id) desc",      :group => "model_ones.id")

I could do it in raw SQL, but I don't know the exact match. Fred Cheung or someone will correct me if I got it wrong!

The :joins is so you don't eager-load the models and interfere with the group concept, I suspect. The group is so you are allowed to count within each group.
