controller:

def index
# get ordered households
@households = Household.find(:all, :order => 'sname, name')
end

index view:
<table>
<% @households.each do |hh| %>
<tr>
<td><%= link_to 'Edit Me!', edit_household_path(hh) %></td>
<td><%= link_to 'Old school link', :controller => 'households',
:action => 'edit', :id => hh.id %></td>
<td><%= h(hh.sname)+', '+h(hh.name) %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>

or if you simply want a list of links:

<table>
<% @households.each do |hh| %>
<tr>
<td><%= link_to h(hh.sname)+', '+h(hh.name),
edit_household_path(hh) %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>

or something like that...
