form validation question

[eluser]rsmarsha[/eluser]
@cideveloper Fixed it. It was due to the field name default. I changed the code to :

Code:

$this->db->order_by("`default`", "desc");
        $this->db->order_by("name", "asc");

It now works, thanks for your help.

Hey guys, a little off topic, and sorry for hijacking this post (but it seems resolved...), but is there any actual performance (or other) advantages to moving the validation rule declarations into a config file apart from cleaner code??? Just interested to know, thanks!

I just did a quick benchmark test with 200 fields. no real difference between config and controller rules in terms of time. But trust me the controller was a mess with all those validation fields in it. So I would say its specifically for cleanliness. I also like that you can associate a Controller Function with a Rule Group. Is so neat :-)

Ah great, thanks for doing that, good information to know! (p.s. i hope you didn't spend too long making your benchmark test, I kind of feel bad now)...
