Rails - Jan 2006 - reversing paginated lists, linking to last page from controller

Hi

I use the scaffolded generated crud to handle my entries, and I cannot
figure out how to reverse the list, what with the pagination.

I can reverse the entries on a page, but not the entire paginated list.

Also, it would be helpful to me to be able to redirect to the last page of a
paginated list when I destroy, i figured out how to add such links to the
view, but how to get from the controller to the last page.

Especially the second way, so i can more easily destroy lots of stuff, which
is what I really want to do.

You should be able to ''reverse'' your list by passing an 
:order=>''some_column DESC'' to the paginate function.
