Remove order from ActiveRecord scope

I'm using rails ransack ( https://github.com/ernie/ransack ) to allow the users to filter and sort some records. I get the filtered and sorted records using traditional methods.

 @invoices = Invoice.search(params[:q]).result

Now I would like to get some summary information so I have

 @invoices = Invoice.search(params[:q]).result
@summary = @invoices.select("sum(balance) as balance_total").first

Except when the user specifies a field to sort. I get the SQL error:

 Column "project_name" is invalid in the ORDER BY clause because
it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause

Can I remove the sort from the scope? How?

Thanks

You can call the reorder method with an empty string. E.g.:

Article.order('headline asc').to_sql
#=> "SELECT `articles`.* FROM `articles`  ORDER BY headline asc"


Article.order('headline asc').reorder('').to_sql
#=> "SELECT `articles`.* FROM `articles`"

You can also use the unscoped class method in Rails 3:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
default_scope :published => true
end


posts = Post.all #=> SELECT * FROM posts WHERE published = true


posts = Post.unscoped do
Post.all #=> SELECT * FROM posts
end

In Rails 2 it was called with_exclusive_scope.
