Reverse sort order with Backbone.js

by

Well, you can return negative values from comparator. If we take, for example, the example from Backbone’s site and want to reverse the order, it will look like this:

var Chapter  = Backbone.Model;
var chapters = new Backbone.Collection;

chapters.comparator = function(chapter) {
  return -chapter.get("page"); // Note the minus!
};

chapters.add(new Chapter({page: 9, title: "The End"}));
chapters.add(new Chapter({page: 5, title: "The Middle"}));
chapters.add(new Chapter({page: 1, title: "The Beginning"}));

alert(chapters.pluck('title'));
