Order by field and its value

Question

How can I order by a field and its value? For example, say I have 10 records, of which:

• 2 records are active (status is active) and favorite is true
• 2 records are active (status is active) and favorite is false
• 3 records are completed (status is completed) and favorite is true
• 3 records are completed (status is completed) and favorite is false

How can I put the records in order as above? That is,

• active and favorite - true
• active and favorite - false
• completed and favorite - true
• completed and favorite - false

Answer 1

Let's suppose your model name is Restaurant.

If you are using ActiveRecord with rails, you may try this,

Restaurant.order('status, favorite DESC')
