Anyone know how to order the group_method parameter in the grouped_collection_select method? I get a nice list of subjects in my drop down BUT they are not in order (alpha...)

My code is below (:subjects is my group_method parameter).

    <%= grouped_collection_select(:course, :subject_id, State.where("id = ? OR state_abbr = ?", current_teacher.state_id, 'CC'), :subjects, :name, :id, :name, {:prompt => true} )%>

I've tried something like this: Subject.order('name')... but get the following error:

  (eval):1: syntax error, unexpected $end   group.#<ActiveRecord::Relation:0x00000102cb71d8>

Or, :subject.order('name').. but get this error:

  undefined method `order' for :Subject:Symbol

Oops, rere are the associations:

State   has_many :subjects

Subject   belongs_to :state   has_many :courses

Course   belongs_to :subject
