How to get Rails' acts_as_list to add new items to the beginning of a list?

Question

I have a model integrated with acts_as_list. However, by default new items created get added to the end of the list. Is there a default way to add new items to the beginning?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Try using the add_new_at configuration option:

acts_as_list scope: :todo, add_new_at: :top

Answer 2

You can change the way the list items are displayed to begin with. Reversing the order of todo_items effectively accomplishes that.

has_many :todo_items, :order => "position ASC"

Otherwise, perhaps you can set the position column on the items manually in an after_create.
