ActiveRecord::find_in_batches should take option[:order]
Reported by blj | March 5th, 2009 @ 01:19 PM | in 2.x
Currently the find_in_batches method raises an error if the :order option is passed to it. I do not understand what the harm in using the order option. However, here is a patch for to remove the error raised.
Thanks.

         Ryan Angilly March 5th, 2009 @ 01:40 PM-1 If, for example, you order by 'Name', and then while batch processing you insert a new record with the name "Angilly", it is possible (probable actually) that your batch processing will miss records. ID's are not very likely to change, and the auto-incrementing means it's much more difficult to miss records. This is also the reason that it requires integer ID's (and not UUIDs). Cheers, Ryan
