        You got code like this


class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  named_scope :school_names, :conditions => {:requirement_type => Type::SCHOOL_NAMES}
end


you would like to group the named_scope by 'name', you should add this code


named_scope :group, lambda { |str| { :group => str } }


use like this


User.school_names.group("name")

Opp jumped the gun... named_scope :group, lambda { |*args| { :group => args.first || "name asc" } }

Give it a default column and sort order. named_scope :group, lambda { |*args| { :group => str || "name asc" } }
