# Helpers to sort tables using clickable column headers.
#
# Author: Stuart Rackham <srackham@methods.co.nz>, March 2005.
# License: This source code is released under the MIT license.
#
# - Consecutive clicks toggle the column's sort order.
# - Sort state is maintained by a session hash entry.
# - Icon image identifies sort column and state.
# - Typically used in conjunction with the Pagination module.
#
# Example code snippets:
#
# Controller:
#
# helper :sort
# include SortHelper
#
# def list
# sort_init 'last_name'
# sort_update
# @items = Contact.find_all nil, sort_clause
# end
#
# Controller (using Pagination module):
#
# helper :sort
# include SortHelper
#
# def list
# sort_init 'last_name'
# sort_update
# @contact_pages, @items = paginate :contacts,
# :order_by => sort_clause,
# :per_page => 10
# end
#
# View (table header in list.rhtml):
#
# <thead>
# <tr>
# <%= sort_header_tag('id', :title => 'Sort by contact ID') %>
# <%= sort_header_tag('last_name', :caption => 'Name') %>
# <%= sort_header_tag('phone') %>
# <%= sort_header_tag('address', :width => 200) %>
# </tr>
# </thead>
#
# - The ascending and descending sort icon images are sort_asc.png and
# sort_desc.png and reside in the application's images directory.
# - Introduces instance variables: @sort_name, @sort_default.
# - Introduces params :sort_key and :sort_order.
#
module SortHelper
# Initializes the default sort column (default_key) and sort order
# (default_order).
#
# - default_key is a column attribute name.
# - default_order is 'asc' or 'desc'.
# - name is the name of the session hash entry that stores the sort state,
# defaults to '<controller_name>_sort'.
