Question

How do i set the sort order to DESC as default? This sort doesn’t really do anything but make postedAt the only sortable item:

<div id="crudListTable">
    #{crud.table fields:['title', 'postedAt'], sort:['postedAt']}
        #{crud.custom 'postedAt'}
            ${object.postedAt.format("dd-MM-yyyy")}
        #{/crud.custom}
    #{/crud.table}
</div>

You can do this on the Entity if you want:

@Entity 
public class Course {
   ...
   @ManyToMany
   @OrderBy("lastname ASC")
   public List<Student> students;
   ...
}
