@Carlos this query still throws an exception:

def self.order_by_number_of_comments_descending
        select('titles.id, titles.title, titles.submitter_name, titles.submitter_email, titles.created_at, titles.updated_at, count(comments.id) AS comments_count').
        joins(:comments).
        group('titles.id, titles.title, titles.submitter_name, titles.submitter_email, titles.created_at, titles.updated_at').
        order('comments_count DESC')
    end

still complaining about not finding comments_count :/

I'm using PostgreSQL 9.1.5

You seem to be confusing the grouping with the join condition. The join requires 1 (usually, sometimes more) column common to both tables. The grouping must include all columns not used in the aggregate function.
