[Rails] How do I sort my columns inside my AJAX search result?

I have just converted into sunspot but am having problems geting my
sorting of columns to work in the controller. My old controller action
looked like this:

def index
@user = current_user
@products = @user.products.search(params[:search]).order(sort_column +
' ' + sort_direction)
end

However I haven't been able to apply this into my new controller action.

Any ideas?

My complete application:


models/product.rb:

class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :ean, :name, :price, :stock, :user_id, :sku
belongs_to :user

validates :user_id, presence: true

searchable do
text :ean, :sku, :name
end
end


controllers/products_controller.rb:

class ProductsController < ApplicationController

helper_method :sort_column, :sort_direction

def index
@user = current_user
@search = @user.products.search do
fulltext params[:search]
end
@products = @search.results
end

private

def sort_column
Product.column_names.include?(params[:sort]) ? params[:sort] :
"name"
end

def sort_direction
%w[asc desc].include?(params[:direction]) ? params[:direction] :
"asc"
end
end


views/products/index.html.erb:

<%= form_tag products_path, :method => :get, :id => "products_search" do
%>
<p>
<%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search] %>
<%= submit_tag "Search", :name => nil, class: "btn btn-large
btn-primary" %>
</p>
<div id="products"><%= render 'products' %></div>
<% end %>


views/index.js.erb:

$('#products').html('<%= escape_javascript(render("products")) %>');


views/products/_products.html.erb:

<%= hidden_field_tag :direction, params[:direction] %>
<%= hidden_field_tag :sort, params[:sort] %>
<table class="pretty">
<tr>
<th><%= sortable "sku", "SKU" %></th>
<th><%= sortable "name", "Name" %></th>
<th><%= sortable "stock", "Stock" %></th>
<th><%= sortable "price", "Price" %></th>
<th><%= sortable "ean", "EAN" %></th>
</tr>
<% for product in @products %>
<tr>
<td><%= product.sku %></td>
<td><%= product.name %></td>
<td><%= product.stock %></td>
<td><%= product.price %></td>
<td><%= product.ean %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>


assets/javascripts/application.js:

$(function () {
$('#products th a').live('click',
function () {
$.getScript(this.href);
return false;
}
);

$('#products_search input').keyup(function () {
$.get($("#products_search").attr("action"),
$("#products_search").serialize(), null, 'script');
return false;
});
});
