in your CreatePosts migration:

t.integer :visits, default: 0

in your post.rb:

is_impressionable counter_cache: true, column_name: :visits, :unique => :all

then:

Post.order(visits: :asc).limit(5)

And this thingy still works for rendering the count inside your post (Slim):

= post.impressionist_count

And yes, this works in PostreSQL and has no problem with activeadmin (quite handy for Dashboard) Hope it helps.

The answer given by Emu wouldn't work if you are using PostgreSQL. See here for explanation.

ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: PG::GroupingError: ERROR: column "items.id" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function

Just add the primary key column of Item table and everything should work!

Item.joins(:impressions).
     group("items.id, impressions.impressionable_id").
     order("count(impression‌​s.id) DESC").
     first(5)

You can achieve the using counter cache. In this approach you've to create a new column to your model and add some configuration to your model. Thus, the gem will automatically update the view count.

Or, (not tested, but should work)

Item.joins(:impressions).group("impressions.impressionable_id").order("count(impression‌​s.id) DESC").first(5)
