Sort array in view

Question

I am trying to sort an array in the view by using link_to's, however I'm not getting any changes in the results.

The view -

 = link_to 'Rating', sort: "rating"
 = link_to 'Origin', sort: "origin"
 = link_to 'Meal Time', sort: "meal_time"

The controller -

 def index
   @recipes = Recipe.order(params[:sort])
 end
 #####
 def sort
  if (params[:order] == 'rating')
    @recipes.order('rating')
  elsif (params[:order] == 'origin')
    @recipes.order('origin')
  end
  respond_to do |format|
    format.html { redirect_to :index }
    format.json { render json: @recipe }
  end
end

Am I missing something? I was using the ASCIIcast for sortable table columns as it's the most simple solution I've found to this problem. Here's the repo - https://github.com/luchia/eaten.

EDIT: As suggested by wurde, I kept the Turbolinks gem and and changed the code in the view -

=link_to('Rating', sort: 'rating', 'data-no-turbolink' => true)
=link_to('Origin', sort: 'origin', 'data-no-turbolink' => true)
=link_to('Meal Time', sort: 'meal_time', 'data-no-turbolink' => true)

But this results in a weird bug where the attribute no-turbolink is now a physical part of the URL (image attached)

This could be an issue with Rails turbolinks caching, since you are using a link to 'pull' a new index of recipes. Try removing turbolinks to verify.

No luck, unfortunately. I removed the turbolinks gem and the results still don't change. Repo can be found [here](https://github.com/luchia/eaten) – Lucy Bloomfield Apr 12 '15 at 23:21
Try keeping the gem, and adding the data element to link_to instead. – wurde Apr 12 '15 at 23:23
Another test is to issue an ajax request via your links and inspect what's returned. – wurde Apr 12 '15 at 23:25
I found a railscasts (great resource) for this specific issue of sorting in Rails. – wurde Apr 12 '15 at 23:55

I've still been unable to get this to work and have tried a number of different solutions including different gems. No luck.
