Rails - Routing using custom param in Permalink

Question

I have Products page that use the ugly param to handle sorting.

products_path(sort: "asc")

# resulting in
/products?sort=asc

I'm trying to make the URL looks like /products/asc. So I'm playing with the routes:

# routes.rb
get "/products/:sort", to: "products#index", as: "products_path"

Now, going to /products/asc works perfectly fine.

But products_path(sort: "asc") still generate /products?sort=asc.

Is there a way to make it generate the pretty URL?

Thanks

[EDIT and ANSWER]

I typo the as:. Should be:

# routes.rb
get "/products/:sort", to: "products#index", as: "products"

Move get "/products/:sort", to: "products#index", as: "products" above resources :projects in routes.rb

Hi, thanks for the reply. Actually I made mistake, it supposed to be as: "products" instead of as: "products_path"
