What is the best method for building the output in the view? Should I use acts_as_list or tree? You'll notice I also want to have the count for each type. Is there a built in way to do this or should I hack something together?
I would use Enumerable#group_by
@people = Person.find(:all) @people_by_type = @people.group_by(&:class)
Number of managers: @people_by_type[Manager].size Number of employees: @people_by_type[Employee].size etc.
To loop through: <% for klass in @people_by_type.keys %> <% for person in @people_by_type[klass] %> .....
