Subject: Re: Grouping elements of an array

After reviewing the suggestions, here is my code. records is the result 
of a ActiveRecord::find with a member called timestamp containing a UNIX 
timestamp.

I introduced an addition of a default value for the find_index call and 
included a descending sort of the groups.


  edges = records.each_cons(2).group_by {|(record_x, record_y)| 
record_y.timestamp - record_x.timestamp < 30 }[false].map{ |edge| 
edge[0] }

  groups = records.group_by { |record| edges.find_index {|edge| 
record.timestamp <= edge.timestamp } || edges.count }.values.sort_by { 
|e| -e.count }


Thanks again for everyone's help.
