ranked-model is a Ruby gem for Rails that manages row ordering/sorting in ActiveRecord models, serving as a modern replacement for acts_as_list and acts_as_sortable. It uses relative integer ranking with ARel for efficient positioning of records within scoped lists.

Use cases

  • sort rails records with drag and drop ordering
  • maintain ordered lists in activerecord models
  • replace acts_as_list with better performance
  • reorder rows in a scoped list without rewriting all positions
  • implement sortable todo or playlist items in rails

When to choose

  • you need efficient reordering of large lists without updating every row
  • you want relative positioning with scoped ordering in Rails 4.2+

When to avoid

  • you are starting a new project - the maintainer recommends the newer Positioning gem
  • you are not using Rails or ActiveRecord
