find all with :order for embedded document

[Kyle Bragger]

If I have a Post model, which has many Messages, how can I do
something like this:

@msgs = @post.messages.find(:all, :order => 'foo DESC')

Are messages embedded or are they first-class documents?  If they're embedded, then the sort can only be performed client-side.  It's possible that MongoMapper handles this, though.

John?

They use EmbeddedDocument. It occurred to me to do client-side
sorting, but I'd have to take in to consideration pagination and the
like...

You are on your own with embedded docs for now. Someday this might be built in, though it is really just a little bit of ruby.

Fair enough, thanks.
