Result.sorted reverse property isn't working

I’m trying to sort my ListView by date with the newest first. The documentation says .sorted takes a reverse param, but it isn’t making any difference.

My code:

let items = this.db.objects(ITEMS_TABLE);
items.sorted('dateUpdated', true);

I get the same sort order with items.sorted('dateUpdated', true); and items.sorted('dateUpdated', false);

This is with Realm 0.10.0

@asamiller sorted() returns a new Results instance, so you probably need to change to something like this:

let items = this.db.objects(ITEMS_TABLE).sorted('dateUpdated', true);

Flash forward a year later and I stumbled on the same problem. The Realm JS documentation should have mentioned in more details on how to sort properly in reverse order.

In order to perform sorting in reverse order, the .sorted() method should be invoked via fluent API chaining without intermediary variable assignment

Improper reverse sorting:

let items = realm.objects('Article').filtered('createdAt > $0', twoDaysAgo);
const reverseSortedItems = items.sorted('createdAt', true); //will not work
console.log(reverseSortedItems);

Proper reverse sorting:

const sortedItems = realm.objects('Article').filtered('createdAt > $0', twoDaysAgo).sorted('createdAt', true); //sorted in reverse order by date
console.log(sortedItems)
