如何按属性长度对ActiveRecords列表进行排序？

I have an object like this:

我有一个像这样的对象:

irb(main):076:0> hints = Hint.where("sentence LIKE ?","%你%")
  Hint Load (4.0ms)  SELECT "hints".* FROM "hints" WHERE (sentence LIKE '%你%')
[
    [0] #<Hint:0x007fb99c6520b8> {
                :id => 214,
          :sentence => "我为你们立下模范，我向你们怎样做，你们也该照样做。",
              :user => nil,
           :learned => nil,
        :created_at => Sun, 06 Jan 2013 18:14:33 UTC +00:00,
        :updated_at => Sun, 06 Jan 2013 18:14:33 UTC +00:00
    },
    [1] #<Hint:0x007fb99c659a70> {
                :id => 229,
          :sentence => "他快要完成地上的传道工作时，曾向耶和华祷告说“我已经使他们使徒认识你的名，以后还要使他们认识”。",
              :user => nil,
           :learned => nil,
        :created_at => Sun, 06 Jan 2013 18:43:23 UTC +00:00,
        :updated_at => Sun, 06 Jan 2013 18:43:23 UTC +00:00
    },
    [2] #<Hint:0x007fb99c659458> {
                :id => 234,
          :sentence => "你的王到你这里来了。",
              :user => nil,
           :learned => nil,
        :created_at => Sun, 06 Jan 2013 18:48:12 UTC +00:00,
        :updated_at => Sun, 06 Jan 2013 18:48:12 UTC +00:00
    }
