RE: afterDelete not running as intended

Not so much related to your post but I noticed something so tip for you:

I do the same thing delete an ordered item 1,2,3,4,5,6 delete #4 so I grab
the Model.order I am deleting and updateAll where Model.order is greater
than 4 for this example saving un-necessary save's 1,2,3 never changed so
why resave them :) Not a big deal but imagine hundreds of users re-ordering
stuff constantly with hundreds of records being re-ordered. Save the db the
trouble.

$this->$currentModel->updateAll(array(
$currentModel.'.order' => $currentModel.'.order-1'), array(
$currentModel.'.user_id' => $this->owner_id,
$currentModel.'.order >' => $record[$currentModel]['order']
));

Subject: afterDelete not running as intended

Hi Guys,

I have this method I've written...

function tidyup() {
//Re-sort orders to remove the 'hole'
// Create an array of the image table contents of IDs and Orders.
$conditions = array(
'fields' => array('id','order'),
'order' => 'Image.order ASC'
);
$images = $this->Image->find('all', $conditions);
//Loop through looking for order/count disparity and tidying up when
disparity is found.
$counter = 1;
foreach ($images as $image):
if ($image['Image']['order'] != $counter) {
$image['Image']['order'] = $counter;
$this->Image->save($image, false,
array('id','order'));
}
$counter++;
endforeach;
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
}

...to reorder a list of Images in a database table once one is
deleted. This works perfectly.

However, what I really want to do is have it triggered automatically
once an Image is deleted.

So I would expect just changing function tidyup to function
afterDelete should work perfectly. When I do that, the function never
runs.

Can I get a sanity check please? Can anyone spot my error?

Thanks in advance for any offers of assistance.
