Just pass actually ordered collection to collection_select helper:

collection_select(:post, :author_id, Author.order('created_at DESC'), :id, :name_with_initial, :prompt => true)

So, in your source example it will look like this:

<%= f.collection_select :player1, Player.order('plays DESC'), :id, :name %>
