Question

Is there any simple way to reverse page numeration with will_paginate?

I want for the top page (last time-wise) to be #1, and the last (earliest) to be #N.

The reason for that is page contents shouldn’t change with time, which is good for SEO.

Answer 1

Order your query by an ascending date instead of a descending date

def index
  @posts = Post.paginate :page => params[:page], :order => "created_at ASC"
end
