Reverse sort order with Backbone.js

Question

With Backbone.js I\'ve got a collection set up with a comparator function. It\'s nicely sorting the models, but I\'d like to reverse the order.

How can I sort the m

Answer 1

Here is a really simple solution, for those who simply want to flip the current order. It is useful if you have a table whose columns can be ordered in two directions.

collection.models = collection.models.reverse()

You can combine it with something like this if you are interested in the table case (coffeescript) :

  collection.comparator = (model) ->
    model.get(sortByType)

  collection.sort()

  if reverseOrder
    collection.models = collection.models.reverse()
