Make jquery isotope sort descending by default - sorting

Question

I am making a site with a lot of pictures and videos using Bootstrap and Isotope. Each video/picture has an ID (called "nyeste") and a score, and I want both nyeste and score to sort descending, when users press the link "score" or "nyeste"
I have copy pasted a lot from isotope and the relevant code looks like this:
<ul id="sort-by" class="option-set clearfix" data-option-key="sortBy">
<li>score</li>
<li>nyeste</li>
</ul>
....
<ul id="sort-direction" class="option-set clearfix" data-option-key="sortAscending">
<li>sort ascending</li>
<li>sort descending</li>
</ul>
How do I combine these two functions, so that both "score" and "nyeste" sort ascending without users having to press two different links?

Answer 1

You can make the descending works as default for all your sorting rules.
Just add sortAscending: false:
$container.isotope({
itemSelector: '.element',
sortAscending: false, // <---------------- HERE
getSortData: {
symbol: function ($elem) {
return $elem.attr('data-symbol');
},
category: function ($elem) {
return $elem.attr('data-category');
},
number: function ($elem) {
return parseInt($elem.find('.number').text(), 10);
},
weight: function ($elem) {
return parseFloat($elem.find('.weight').text().replace(/[\(\)]/g, ''));
},
name: function ($elem) {
return $elem.find('.name').text();
}
}
});
