Descending dates per username

[Matthias Eck <ma...@jibbigo.com>]

Hello,

I am having the following issue with CouchDB:

My view outputs an array key made up of a username and a timestamp:
emit([doc.user, doc.timestamp]).
I would like to use the view to get all docs for a specific user
sorted by timestamp, with the newest documents first.

Using ...?startkey=["user"]&endkey=["user",{}] works fine, but sorts
the docs in the wrong order.
Now adding &descending=true gives an empty result.

Thanks for any help,
Matthias

Reverse your startkey and endkey values if you use descending=true
(it's logical if you think about it).
