Added an optional distinct for sorting nested associations with ransack gem, since you have to set .result(distinct: false) for it to work.
For example, given an endpoint where we have many users, and each user can have many posts, and each post have a title column:
/users?q[s]=post_title asc
should sort all users based on the title of their posts, but it won't work because of (distinct: true).But if we set distinct to false, it will sort properly.
This way, when we want to sort with an association, in out controller we would do:
respond_with filtered_collection(User.all, false)
