Acts_as_list descending instead of ASC numbering

Question

I'm using acts_as_list plugin to sort my to do lists.

* [drag] Test 1
* [drag] sadf 2
* [drag] asdf 3 

However I want the numbering to the DESC instead. So it shows as

* [drag] Test 3
* [drag] sadf 2
* [drag] asdf 1

How do I do that?

Thanks

Answer 1

Try changing the order in the model:

class TodoList < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :todo_items, :order => "position DESC"
end

That should produce:

• asdf 3
• sadf 2
• Test 1

assuming your items are:

id name position
1  Test 1
2  sadf 2
3  asdf 3
