Active relation order not ordering correctly - ruby-on-rails

I have records I need to order with a date attribute. In my code I call:
records.order("`records`.date esc")
however this doesn't seem to work.
If I run:
records.order("`financial_transactions`.date asc").pluck(:date)
I get:
[Fri, 09 Dec 2016, Wed, 07 Dec 2016, Sun, 25 Jun 2017, Sat, 25 Mar 2017]
which is obviously incorrect. I also get the same result if I run:
records.order("`records`.date desc").pluck(:date)
How can I fix this?

If you are on Rails 4+, this should work for descending order:
records.order(date: :desc).pluck(:date)
And if you want them in ascending order, you can just do:
records.order(:date).pluck(:date)
For Rails 3.2:
records.order('records.date desc').pluck(:date)
records.order('records.date asc').pluck(:date)

If you are on Rails 5, try
records.order(date: :desc).pluck(:date)
If you want them ascending, do this:
records.order(date: :asc).pluck(:date)

I dont get the expenses of the 31 of the previous months with Activerecord in rails

When I show the total expend of PUQ theres no problem
Expend.where(cc: "PUQ").sum(:total)
But when I want to show by month individually with this code, I Don't get the expenses of the 31, only show 1 to 30 of the month. Right now I dont get the expenses of 31-08-2020
Expend.where(cc: "PUQ").where(:created_at => ((Date.today.beginning_of_month)- 1.month)..((Date.today.end_of_month) - 1.month)).sum(:total)
Thanks in advance
You can use these handy Rails methods
range = Time.current.advance(months: -1).all_month
# => Sat, 01 Aug 2020 00:00:00 UTC +00:00..Mon, 31 Aug 2020 23:59:59 UTC +00:00
Expend.where(created_at: range)
More about all_month
and about advance

Rails 4.2.10 Dirty changes triggers even that nested-fields not changed

I've getting this problem just once after updating the record, after updated record if i try same things over again there is no problem
For example i have a prices table for my products, and it is nested in products
when i make changes for products table itself, my price nested field triggers changes also example below when i debug with binding.pry;
[1] pry(#<Price>)> changes
=> {"prices"=>[[#<BigDecimal:7fea13b5ddd0,'0.16E1',18(18)>], [#<BigDecimal:7fea13afc698,'0.16E1',18(18)>]],
"updated_at"=>[Wed, 05 Sep 2018 16:14:07 BST +01:00, Thu, 27 Sep 2018 09:57:49 BST +01:00]}
[2] pry(#<Price>)> dd
NameError: undefined local variable or method `dd' for #<Price:0x00007fea13afe650>
from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.7/gems/activemodel-4.2.10/lib/active_model/attribute_methods.rb:433:in `method_missing'
[3] pry(#<Price>)> changes
=> {"prices"=>[[#<BigDecimal:7fe9f5623748,'0.16E1',18(18)>], [#<BigDecimal:7fea13afc698,'0.16E1',18(18)>]],
"occured_dates"=>[[Wed, 05 Sep 2018], [Wed, 05 Sep 2018]],
"updated_at"=>[Wed, 05 Sep 2018 16:14:07 BST +01:00, Thu, 27 Sep 2018 09:57:49 BST +01:00]}
change triggers might be my codes but wierd thing when i send wrong method to active_model in binding.pry console it gives me more changed attributes after that even there is no action happend between.
Edit:
problem was cause by BigDecimal keep creating new BigDecimal on the progress

Rails last day of last week bug?

I'm trying to get the last day of last week.
Today is:
d = Date.today
=> Sun, 22 Nov 2015
d.at_end_of_week
=> Sun, 22 Nov 2015
d.at_end_of_week.last_week
=> Mon, 09 Nov 2015
The last command should return Mon, 15 Nov 2015, no?
This also returns the same FYI:
Date.today.at_end_of_week.last_week
=> Mon, 09 Nov 2015
What am I missing here?
What you are seeing is correct. Note that last_week is an alias of prev_week which takes an optional parameter that defaults to Date.begining_of_week (:monday)
Resulting in trying to find the date in the previous week but from the past monday.
If instead you call Date.today.at_end_of_week.last_week :sunday. For what you try to accomplish you need a way to replace :sunday with something based on today's date. Maybe this but I haven't tried it.
Try:
Date.today.last_week.at_end_of_week

In the context of rails, how can I order columns by the second?

I am working with rails and postgresql. I have a created_at timestamp on a model. I am in a situation where I need to order the results by second. I can't seem to get rails todo this.
e.g. If I insert 5 records in 1 minute, and then want to sort by created_at time, since they all have the same minute, it starts to order them by alpha because they all have the same insert minute.
How can I make it so that it orders by the insert in seconds. Postgres is storing it. But DateTime doesn't seem to take seconds into account in this way...
I hope this makes sense
Kirk
ActiveRecord order method should sort including the second
Eg:
Note the last two datetimes are in the same minute
User.pluck(:created_at)
=> [Fri, 14 Mar 2014 16:26:02 UTC +00:00, Fri, 14 Mar 2014 18:33:42 UTC +00:00, Fri, 14 Mar 2014 18:33:51 UTC +00:00]
User.order("created_at desc").collect(&:created_at)
=> [Fri, 14 Mar 2014 18:33:51 UTC +00:00, Fri, 14 Mar 2014 18:33:42 UTC +00:00, Fri, 14 Mar 2014 16:26:02 UTC +00:00]
Adding:
default_scope -> { order('created_at DESC') }
to your ActiveRecord should do it because created_at should look like this:"2014-03-12 15:29:26" which specifies the seconds.

Iterating months using ruby

I have a very weird requirement where I need to deal with months. Here is what I am try to do actually. I have two object say
jan_start_date=Time.parse("2012-01-01 00:00:00")
jan_end_date=Time.parse("2012-01-31 23:59:59")
I take this two datetime objects and iterate over feb, mar, april and soon to get some data.
Then I will take feb start and end dates and iterate over march, april and soon.
Its like month on month data collection. Once I am done with say Jan data, I need to take Feb's data and so on and so forth. How do I achieve this. Since I need to iterate over months.
Kindly help me out
Thanks
ActiveSupport has beginning_of_month and end_of_month:
d = Date.today
#=> Fri, 13 Jul 2012
d.beginning_of_month
#=> Sun, 01 Jul 2012
d.end_of_month
#=> Tue, 31 Jul 2012
You can use Date#>> to shift dates forward monthwise:
(d>>2).end_of_month
#=> Sun, 30 Sep 2012
(d>>4).beginning_of_month
#=> Thu, 01 Nov 2012
