Convex chat docs potential small correction

Hello

,

I was going through the

Convex Chat

Convex Chat

Convex Chat

Convex Chat tutorial and when I got to the first exercise (https://docs.convex.dev/tutorial/reactor#find--fix-the-query-bug), I was surprised to see that the solution was to just use the JS

.reverse

.reverse

.reverse

.reverse function. Wouldn't it be "better" to just change the order of the messages from

desc

desc

desc

desc to

asc

asc

asc

asc instead?

So from

const messages = await ctx.db.query("messages").order("desc").take(100);

const messages = await ctx.db.query("messages").order("desc").take(100);

const messages = await ctx.db.query("messages").order("desc").take(100);

const messages = await ctx.db.query("messages").order("desc").take(100);
to

const messages = await ctx.db.query("messages").order("asc").take(100);

const messages = await ctx.db.query("messages").order("asc").take(100);

const messages = await ctx.db.query("messages").order("asc").take(100);

const messages = await ctx.db.query("messages").order("asc").take(100);

Apologies if this is too nitpicky of a question.
