ActiveRecord find_each combined with limit and order

Question

I\'m trying to run a query of about 50,000 records using ActiveRecord\'s find_each method, but it seems to be ignoring my other parameters like so:

Answer 1

Retrieving the ids first and processing the in_groups_of

ordered_photo_ids = Photo.order(likes_count: :desc).pluck(:id)

ordered_photo_ids.in_groups_of(1000, false).each do |photo_ids|
  photos = Photo.order(likes_count: :desc).where(id: photo_ids)

  # ...
end

It's important to also add the ORDER BY query to the inner call.
