This is the method I ended up with, almost.. I did

def people_by_birthday
list = self.people.partition {|person| person.birthday.blank?}
list[1].sort_by(&:birthday)# + list[0].sort_by(&:name)
return list[1]
end

I had no use for the empty part of the partition, do it left.. Works
perfectly.
Only problem now is that clearing empty dates trips the error message
from failed validations.

Thanks a lot

Bob
