i.e., I am grouping by the distance_of_time_in_words value of the release_date attribute but when I sort the resultant hash, everything’s sorted alphabetically (i.e. instead of “6 Days “, “5 Weeks”, “1 Month”, “4 Months” I get “1 Month”, “4 Months”, “5 Weeks”, “6 Days”)

Here’s some of my code:
Controller:
@items = Category.all_category_items.group_by {|i| distance_of_time_in_words(Time.now, i.release_date)}

View:

This gives me the alphabetical order.

How do I sort by the first @item.release_date in the group instead of the distance_of_time_in_words(Time.now, i.release_date) but still group by distance_of_time_in_words(Time.now, i.release_date)?

Week
‘post’, :collection => @posts %>

should read:

Week
‘post’, :collection => posts %>

*the @ symbol should be removed from ‘:collection => @posts’

This solved my problem of getting repeating posts. It seems that the collection should be of the local variable posts rather than the instance variable of @post (which contains all of the entries in the database)
