How do I sort tickets in descending creation order

The filtering functionalities in Lighthouse are great. However, I am having some usability issues with the sorting options. Indeed, sort:updated is interesting, but not very practical in a day to day use. Typically, the default sorting order for bugs in such a system is most recently created at the top. The sort:number option seems to only offer the option of showing the very oldest tickets first.

Is there a way to write something like sort:number:desc?

Thanks,

    At this point in time that is not an option in Lighthouse filters that appears to meet your needs.

    You can only sort from lowest to highest ticket number or in order of most recently updated.

    I'll see what Rick has to say when he returns from Rails Conference in Vegas though. It's quite possible we could add that.

    That would be great!

    With a dozen tickets, there is no impact. But when you have a hundred tickets for a given filter, typically you would want to see the most recently created first.

    Thank you,

    True, for now you could just search by state and sort by number and then go to the last page and work backwards. While not optimal, it will work for the time being.

    +1 on jsimard's suggestion

    my modification:

    sort:-aspect
    

    means sort by aspect descending, so

    sort:-number
    

    would do the trick.
