How to get last N records with activerecord?

Question

With :limit in query, I will get first N records. What is the easiest way to get last N records?

Answer 1

If you need to set some ordering on results then use:

Model.order('name desc').limit(n) # n= number

if you do not need any ordering, and just need records saved in the table then use:

Model.last(n) # n= any number
