Rails - Dec 2008 - will_paginate working in the opposite way expected

Hi,

I am creating a little blogging engine, so I want the most recent posts
to display first, so I make a search with :order => ''created_at
DESC''

For some reason, will_paginate works the opposite way I expect it to be.
I mean the previous / next links are opposite to what I want. What could
I be doing wrong?

As in Next fetches older posts ? If so you''re not doing anything  
wrong. While you may thing of next as more recents posts,  
will_paginate only cares about it being the next page.
You can tell will_paginate what labels to use for the links  with  
the :next_label/:previous_label options so you can swap them around or  
use something less ambiguous like older/newer
