Installation



  git clone git://github.com/steffen/ordered_attributes.git vendor/plugins/ordered_attributes

On Edge Rails:



  script/plugin install git://github.com/steffen/ordered_attributes.git

Example



  class Person < ActiveRecord::Base

    attr_order :name, :street, :zip, :city

    attr_groups :address => [:street, :zip, :city],
              :birth => [:date_of_birth, :place_of_birth], // you can use %w(date_of_birth place_of_birth) as well
              :all => [:name, :address, :birth]

  end

Use the ordered_attributes method to get the ordered attributes:



  Person.ordered_attributes
  => [:name, :street, :zip, :city]

  Person.ordered_attributes(:all)
  => [:name, :street, :zip, :city, :date_of_birth, :place_of_birth]
