Reversing display order in for?

Rails
1

I am displaying some data on one of my pages by calling a for loop:

for comment in @comments

and then diplaying it:
<%= link_to comment.send(‘comment_subject’), :controller =>‘comments’ ,
:action => ‘show’, :id => comment, :class => ‘comment’ %>

Works great, but it displays things from oldest to newest… Is there an
easy way to get it to reverse the order so that the newest comments are
on the top?

for comment in @comments.reverse

:slight_smile:

Depending on how you’re getting the comments in the first place, you
could also do something like:

@comments = Comment.find(:all, :order => “created_at, DESC”)

in your controller.
