This solution was the most resonable idea I found:

The proper way to do it is to reverse the sorting order, i.e. add

    :order => 'created_at DESC'

to your paginate call. User would expect the "latest addition" on the beginning, and older ones on the following pages.

Just order your query so that it's in reverse chronological order.

Post.paginate(:page => (params[:page] || 1), :per_page => 20 :order => "created_at desc")
