sorted

Sorted is a simple object that will take an sql order string and a url sort string to let you sort large datasets over many pages (using will_paginate or kaminari) without losing state.

View

Generate a sorted link with the email attribute:

link_to_sorted "Email", :email

Works the same as the link_to method except a second argument for the sort attribute is needed.
