Postgres JSON data type Rails query

Question

I am using Postgres\' json data type but want to do a query/ordering with data that is nested within the json.

I want to order or query with .where on the json data

Your question doesn't seem to correspond to the data you've shown, but if your table is named users and data is a field in that table with JSON like {count:123}, then the query

SELECT * WHERE data->'count' > 500 FROM users

will work. Take a look at your database schema to make sure you understand the layout and check that the query works before complicating it with Rails conventions.
