Hi     I have a list page for users. I am using will_paginate for pagination. So an example is

full_name(f_name+l_name) email unit(this an integer colum is user.buildng.unit)

Clinton Trone cliff@test.com 2 Evette Pace evet@test.com 2 Brett B brett@test.com 10 ...............

         My requirement is to sort by any of the headings ie first_name, email or unit on clicking them. Also I need Alphabetical sorting .Like there will be All,A,B,C ...Z,Other    in the list page. Then on clicking suppose D the paginated list has to sorted by letter 'D' like that. I have no idea how to implement this. Please help

Thanks in advance Tom

Hi     I still could not get an exact choice. I found this http://www.2dconcept.com/jquery-grid-rails-plugin

    But suppose if have a column like full_name but it is not a db column ( i have db columns firstname and lastname) then what I will do? If anybody has any other choice than please help.

Thanks Tom
