Question

Let’s say I want to return the last entry in a model, it is easy. The most recent post is found as (assuming descending order)

 @post = Post.last 

What if I wanted the 10 most recent posts ie

 @recentposts = Post.#whatdoIputhere?

How could I most easily and efficiently do this?

Thanks!

Try this:

@recentposts = Post.all(:order => 'created_at DESC', :limit => 10)
