[Rails] Re: options_for_select and sorting

[Rails] options_for_select and sorting | [Rails] Testing file upload to / download from database
Instead of a hash, try passing in an ActiveSupport::OrderedHash

options = ActiveSupport::OrderedHash.new
options["Co-ed"] = "Co-ed"
options[""Men"] = "Men"
etc.

It is ugly tho :-(
