+= acts_as_inverse_sortable
+
+Sets a negative timestamp on an Active Record model for efficiently sort on created_at inverse order.
+
+== Install
+
+  gem install alvarobp-acts_as_inverse_sortable --source http://gems.github.com
+  
+== Usage
+
+As a very simple plugin, using it is simple. Just add an integer attribute called "created_at_inverse" to your model. Afterwards you can make that model inverse sortable, for example:
+
+  class Film < ActiveRecord::Base
+    acts_as_inverse_sortable
+  end
+
+Therefore, you can get an inverse sorted array of Films with Film.find(:all, :order => 'created_at_inverse') working on an efficient way.
+
+== Test
+
+Just do
+
+  rake test
