Question about Active Record, Scopes, 1st Code Challenge

It is a tough course in regards to organization! But a wealth of information to be gained.

I cannot remember which "code script" is first, but here are two answers:

1. Command Line Take the starting query . . . sort the results by first_name field

Person.where(age: 31).order("first_name DESC")

Where and order are SQL-reference methods (if you've taken the database course) when referenced from the command line. In scopes, he talks a lot about name scopes, but ultimately those mean nothing if you're not comfortable with SQL syntax.

2. Regular Scopes Build a finder scope called hamptons

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  scope :hamptons, -> { where(first_name: "Hampton")}
end

This one is a bit tricky since (at this point) you haven't used specific name scopes in the course, but only argument-based scopes. Simply put, within a class, you revert to Ruby syntax for SQL-reference methods.
