JQuery UI Datepicker, reverse the order of the year in the dropdowns

Question

I have a datepicker with changeyear: true. The \'year\' drop down displays the title as 2009, then instead of the next year below the title being 2008, 2007, 2006 and so on

Answer 1

There is a "way" to get the year started from the last date:

dateFormat: 'mm/dd/yy',
changeMonth: true, 
changeYear: true,  
yearRange: "-70:", 
maxDate: "-13Y"

Instead if using yearRange as fixed years yearRange: "1900:-13" it's better to use this from bottom up: "-70:", and set the maxDate. Now I get my year select box starting from 2004 and not 1900.

P.S: All the other solutions have been tested. They are very slow, and some don't work so well (especially the old ones - sets current year instead of 2004 for example).
