I was wondering how do you have multiple default scopes (ordering) on a model for example I have a comments model that needs ordering by both date and approved:

default_scope :order => 'approved ASC', :order => 'date ASC'

So how do you have both of these ordering put on a model, so I first orders by approved, and then by date.

Cheers!

In Rails 4+ you can do:

default_scope -> { order(approved: :asc, date: :asc) }

Here is the good syntax for ordering with several fields : 

default_scope :order => 'approved ASC, date ASC'
