Can you not use the DESC ASC after the .sort?

<div>
DESC and ASC don't change the way the sort function works. I need to change the sort so that it sorts chronologically and not alphabetically.<br />
<br />
Is there a way to change the results of distance_of_time_in_words back to a date value first, sort it, and then change it back to distance_of_time_in_words?<wbr /><br />

<div>
But then how do I group by the distance_of_time_in_words value after sorting by the original date? Do I need to write a new method?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a hash with the key generated by distance_of_time_in_words.<wbr /> I want to be able to sort that hash chronologically instead of alphabetically. How would I do that?<br />
<br />
i.e., the keys in my hash are &quot;6 days&quot;, &quot;25 days&quot;, &quot;5 months&quot;. I want to sort it in that order but what happens is the .sort method sorts it alphabetically and puts it &quot;25 days&quot;, &quot;5 months&quot;, &quot;6 days&quot;.<br />

Sort distance_of_time_in_words hash

Ruby is an open-source dynamic object-oriented interpreted language that supports multiple programming frameworks including functional, object oriented and imperative. It also has a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. Ruby focuses on simplicity and productivity. Ruby's market share spiked due to Ruby on Rails, a model-view-controller (MVC) framework for building web applications.
