How can I do a default scope in rails 4?

Question

I previously used default_scope :order => 'group_name' because I wanted it for all uses.

This doesn't work in Rails 4

I tried

scope :default, -> { order('group_name')}

which didn't raise a syntax error, but also didn't work - groups are not ordered by name

I can add a scope but I'd like to know if there's a replacement for all as a default.

No syntax error was raised since what you tried correctly creates a scope named `default`. So now you can say, `MyActiveRecord.default` and you'll get your active record ordered by `group_name`. :) — lurker, Aug 19 '14 at 00:24

Should be declared as

default_scope {order('group_name')}

But if you have to:

default_scope { order('group_name') }
