Surplus quote mark when ordering by RAND - El Forum - 11-27-2008

I think I've found a bug

Code:
$this->CI->db->order_by('track','random');
$query = $this->CI->db->get('tracks');

produces a db error with SQL output of:

Code:
SELECT * FROM (`tracks`) ORDER BY ` RAND()

That little quote mark in front of RAND() shouldn't be there.

Also, I shouldn't really have to specify a field name to get random ordering.

I agree, it's a pity that this doesn't work correctly.

Please, CodeIgniter folks, fix this bug!
