Specifying descending order_by on a backref

[Ken]

I'm using the declarative extension. When I specify a backref on a
relation, I see the order_by argument and I'm pointing it to the
column object. That works, but I need to sort the backref
descendingly, not ascendingly. I don't see an option for that in the
Relation()/backref() arguments. What am I missing?

Thanks ahead of time.

backref supports the same arguments as relation(), which include an order_by argument.

Michael, I'm using the order_by argument. The problem is that it's
sorting my values ascendingly instead of descendingly.

Hi,

Sorry, I misunderstood. You should be able to do a order_by=field.desc().

Ah, that answers my question. Thanks!
