Let's say I get a photo_id 34



This photo is part of a specific photographers asset current_photographer.photos.all : 1, 23, 24, 34, 78



How is it possible to get the relationship current_photographer.photos.all result starting by the specific photo ID provided => 34, 78, 1, 23, 24 ?



EDIT: I want to keep the general order of photos. Each photo is preceeded by the previously created photo.(this is for a photo carousel)

          You could create two result sets, one for >= 34 and one for < 34, and then combine them.



          current_photographer.photos.where('id >= ?', 34) + current_photographer.photos.where('id < ?', 34)



          These could be scopes:



          scope :above_id, ->(id) { where('id >= ?', id) }
          scope :below_id, ->(id) { where('id < ?', id) }


          then: current_photographer.photos.above_id(34) + current_photographer.photos.below_id(34)



          or add a class method using the scopes:



          def self.above_below_id(id)
          above_id(id) + below_id(id)
          end

          I think you would be better implementing in the application space. I don't really see how it can be done in a meaningful way in the database level.



          You can fetch the records in their original order and then manipulate the result.



          current_photographer.photos.partition {|photo| photo.id < 34 }.reverse.flatten
