How do I get this custom array?

Question

I want the first four notifications that are unread notifications.where(:read => false)[0,4].map. However, if there are fewer than four notifications that are unread, I want the rest of the four notifications to be filled up by read ones. How do I do this?

(Also, the .where(:read => false) doesn't seem to work.)

Try:

(notifications.where(:read => false).limit(4) + notifications.where(:read => true).limit(4))[0,4]

You can also try

notifications.order(:read).limit(4)

Which should give you falses first then trues.
