Reverse Sorting with array

Ruby Apps Ferret
1

I run several websites that receive a lot of concurrent access and use
the ferret DRB server. I am adding sort functionality to my search pages
and have run into problems with the marshalling of Sort and SortField
objects. Using the :sort=>“name” style works, but I can’t figure out how
to reverse the sort. Is it possible to reverse the sort by passing a
string?

Thanks,

of course - just use :sort => ‘name DESC’.

Regarding the sort object/marshalling problems - this is supposed to
work, do you have a stack trace and some code leading to it for me?
