Ferret talk - May 2006 - Reverse sorts by score

The docs for Sort.new say:

reverse: pass true if you want the sort order to be reversed. Only works
if you pass the field names.

Does this mean it''s not possible to do a reverse sort by score? If it
is
it seems to be broken as I don''t seem to be able to reverse the order
of
the sort. I''ll write a test case if this is not a known problem.

Greetings,

Pedro.

Hi Pedro,

To sort reverse by score do this;

    s = Sort.new(SortField.new("Reverse Score",
                         {:sort_type => SortField::SortType::SCORE,
                           :reverse => true}))

Hope that helps.

Dave
