Allow limit option on find last to retrieve many recods
find(:last) (or just last) ignores the :limit option.
This was because of two reasons, returning only the last record matching the query and make use of find_initial.
Sometimes i need to query for the last X records created, for example: "Last 5 comments on this product..."
With this small patch you'll be able to do:
Product.find(:last, :limit => 5)
In order to retrieve those 5 products.

CancelProfileIsBrokenThe syntax worries me a bit. It's not immediately obvious to me whether find(:last, :limit => 5) means "find the last five in the entire model" or "find a maximum of five instances and give me the last of those".

Emilio TaguaHey Mike,
The syntax is the same as for find(:all) and i guess you are not worried of doing find(:all, :limit =>5).
Also find_initial (or first) is just a find(:all) (or find_every) with :limit => 1.

DHH- State changed from new to wontfix
Gotta say that I'm not a fan. find(:last) is a mirror of find(:first), not find(:all).
