Firebase orderBy descending

Question

I have an array in Firebase, which I'm getting like this:

var ref = new Firebase(url);
ref.orderByChild("date").on("child_added", function(obj) {
    console.log(obj.val());
});

But I need that in descending order. How can I do that with Firebase?

Thanks!

Since you added the AngularJS tag, I'll assume you're using Angular in your project. In that case, it would make your life significantly easier to use AngularFire (http://angularfire.com).

Once you're using AngularFire, you can use the $firebaseArray service to grab your array from your database, and sort it just as you would any other array.

The $firebaseArray documentation can be found here: https://www.firebase.com/docs/web/libraries/angular/guide/synchronized-arrays.html
